A lovely book with easy to follow patterns that are great small projects to make as gifts. A great way to personalize a chocolate orange or a small chocolate treat. I loved the little mouse and I am sure it will delight a few recipients young and old. -- Mandy Horton * Customer Review * So thrilled with this book, it is very creative and the instructions are really clear. There are so many different projects to make. I can't wait to get started! -- Jane Golding * Customer Review * Firstly, I’m new to crochet but I loved this book so much I bought two more copies for friends who like me are new to crochet. It’s packed with beautiful cute small items that could be crocheted as gifts or possibly charity makes. The instructions are clear and easy and are completed quickly. As the projects only use small amounts of yarn I would say they are very affordable to make. I have already made the pig and the cupcake. The stitches were easy and I certainly improved my knowledge and confidence. Off to try another now. I’m addicted! -- Susan Fairhurst-Blakey * Customer Review * This collection of chocolate cozies provides a super-cute wrapping for edible gifts, including Christmas-appropriate patterns for a festive penguin, a ballerina mouse and a snowman, along with other novelties such as a cactus, octopus, spaceship and cupcake. These clever designs are for chocolate treats in a variety of shapes and sizes, including orange-sized chocolate products, tiny covers for bite-sized goodies such as truffles, and chocolate egg-sized cozies too. -- Inside Crochet * Issue 163 *
