Cuddly, colourful baby shoes make the perfect gift for a new baby - this book is ideal for crafty people looking to give unique and personal presents. The book contains 20 gorgeous designs, all unique but all equally irresistible, in a range of colours and styles for boys and girls. Choose from red strawberry-style shoes with flowery toes, smiley car shoes, Christmas booties and even shoes shaped like frogs! As all babies are different, sizes and age suggestions are given for each project, from birth to twelve months, but general advice is also given at the beginning of the book on how to increase or decrease the size of the projects. Each pair of shoes requires relatively small quantities of yarn and can be crocheted quickly, easily, and on the go using the clear instructions provided. Each project is accompanied by lists of the materials and equipment required and inspiring photographs.About the Author: Val Pierce is a keen knitter and crocheter and a prolific author, with over 15 books to her name.
