Baby Shower Cakes

Cleverly constructed gifts for parents-to-be that also serve as centerpieces for baby showers are presented with thorough instructions in this guide to cost-effective, practical presents that make big impressions. Made to mimic the shape of cakes and offering the utility of 72 newborn diapers as well as crocheted items and accessories for the baby, the three "diaper cakes" detailed in the book are personalized with 21 practical and beautiful designs. The crochet projects include useful items such as booties, blanket trims, sock trims, headbands, security blankets, pacifier holders, and bottle covers. Appropriate for crocheters looking for easy to intermediate projects, these charming creations use light and medium worsted-weight yarn and offer gender-neutral options in addition to princess, sports, and teddy bear themes.
