Bernat is exploring color with this fun-a-licious book. This book concentrates on pillows, simplistic table toppers, creates and one doll as shown on the picture above. The book is full of color with how-to crochet instructions and tips. The colors are vibrant and I couldn't help but love the back cover of the Dog laying on its new Spikey Granny Pillow. It is too cute for words.

I find the designs to be modern and tempting to want to complete the entire book. The doll is simplistic yet visually fantastic to give away as a gift. I could see this book being used for the modern mom who isn't scared of colors and vibrants for the baby in their lives. But If the mom wants to change the colors, she is more than welcome to settle down the colors to suit their own decor.

The book leaves nothing to the imagination as far as selecting the exact same color that appears in the book. It's educational and there are some diagrams in the book to show you placement of squares and etc to create exactly what you see. For Example, the cover showcases a mat with circles. There is actually a pattern to it that is not expected which to me is a round of applause to the creativity within this this book. Don't forget that doggy on the back. Even the Kerchief it is wearing is provided inside this book. Another fabulous edition to your pattern library!
