The instructions were plenty clear enough for me, a barely intermediate knitter. I was able to complete both garments with no help except to look up a couple things in a basic knitting reference book. The instructions at the beginning were a huge help though. Any one of these sweaters or other projects, like the pillows, would make great gifts for the pet owners you know.” - Lois (New Brunswick, Canada) “I was a bit hesitant to buy this as I have a cat. Have you ever tried to put a sweater on a cat? Long story short, with mine it doesn't end well and the cat never wore the sweater. I love that this book has more than just clothing options. She was fearless hunter with the duck and has eagerly (for a cat) claimed the snuggly blanket as her new throne to rule the house from. I was happy to find that the patterns were easy to put together and the instructions were straight forward.” - Kelli (Ohio, US) Tags: pets, crafts, pet crafts, knitting, crocheting, dog, cat, toys, knit blanket, knit toys, gifts, crochet, crochet 101, beginners, easy patterns, novice crochet, crocheting, one day crochet, learn to crochet, crochet patterns, afghan projects, crochet stitch gallery, easy to crochet, knitting, crochet for beginners, cross-stitching, needlework, one day crochet afghan, crochet scarf, craft, crocheting for dummies, crochet craft, crochet book
