Kids Crochet presents everything from finger-crocheting to crocheting in the round, all supported by easy-to-follow instructions, full-color illustrations, and charming photos of boys and girls busily stitching. In addition, intriguing sidebars explore such subjects as crochet around the world, the origins of yarn, and popular crochet-for-charity programs.
