This is a crochet book with projects from five different Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales. They are: Hansel and Gretel, The Hare and the Hedgehog, Jack and the Beanstalk, Tom Thumb, and Rapunzel. The projects include some different and interesting items such as the cottage from Hansel and Gretel and the Beanstalk from Jack and the Beanstalk.
The designer includes the type of yarn used which is a very thrifty Red Heart Super Saver. She also gives you the hook size but there is no gauge size as it is not important. If you crochet with a lot of tension, your projects will be slightly smaller; if you crochet with loose tension, they will be larger. I tend to have loose tension and my daughter, very tight tension. Needless to say, we can’t work on this as a project together as there will be a noticeable difference in sizes. If you plan to finish the project by yourself, all of the characters should be similar sized.
Along with the projects, the book tells the fairy tale story. You can use it as a way to read for yourself or to the child in your life as you crochet or after you have finished the project and they can play with the characters.
I received a digital ARC copy of this book from the publisher, Dover Publications, via Netgalley.
