Details: Product Description Do you know a child with a favourite storytime character? Crochet them a hooded blanket, then settle down to complete the entourage! Bedtime bookworms will love snuggling up and listening to their favourite story in a cosy hooded blanket. Bring storytime to life as they act out the characters - will they be a goodie or a baddie, Little Red Riding Hood or the wolf? Lynne Rowe's latest new book has ten fun, fairytale projects to crochet, including a deer, a dragon, a lion and a unicorn. Each blanket can be made in two sizes: for toddlers (age 2 to 4) and for young children (age 5 to 7). Along with crochet techniques, there are suggestions for varying the yarn colour to create a different character (changing a polar bear into a brown bear, for example) and you can choose between a rounded or a pointed hood. Lynne has also designed a strip of matching bunting to accompany each project. Every blanket tells a story, with pockets on the sides for snuggly paws and different tails. Perfect for unwinding for a bedtime story and animating the oral tradition of storytelling - little listeners, as well as their parents, will find themselves enchanted. Review From Postcard Reviews Jun 2020 -  These cute and gorgeous designs will make every bedtime something to look forward to for every child. Made in two sizes.. Ages 2 - 4 and 5 - 7, they have a character theme from favourite childhood stories. The technique guide makes it easy for even a beginner of crochet to be able to make a blanket and I loved the added embellishments such as bunting and pom poms. The photography is amazing, it will encourage and inspire you to have a go and create something fun. I'm sure each design can be adapted for a unique style for your child's individuality, but each one is clever and imaginative.
