My Little Crocheted Christmas Review & GIVEAWAY

This book will make you fall in love with crochet! My Little Crocheted Christmas: Festive Projects to Make the Season Bright by Doerthe Eisterlehner. The cover shows only a sample of the delights inside. It's packed with holiday goodies, baubles and items you can crochet to keep or gift. The author's crochet designs are fresh and modern. Her book is divided into 3 chapters Sweets, Gift Ideas and Decorations. All 26 crochet patterns are printed on large, easy to read 20.3 x 27.2 cm (8 x 10.7 inch) pages and include step-by-step-instructions, finishing, a materials list and photos. Each project has a difficulty rating of 1 through 3. Most are a 1 or 2 and can be made relatively quickly and easily. There's a How-To section for beginners where both text and diagram show basic crochet techniques.  The book design is lovely, a pleasure to look at, colorful and engaging, infused with sweetness.
