Reviews

A must-buy for dinosaur lovers, Vanessa Mooncie's latest book includes 10 detailed patterns for prehistoric reptiles. Vanessa has cleverly used colourwork techniques and decorative stitches to create realistic-looking scales and feathers, and craft wire is incorporated to make the dinosaurs posable... Given the complexity of the patterns, this book is most suitable for intermediate and advanced crocheters, although there is also a section explaining the techniques in case adventurous beginners want to give it a go.
