These crocheted heart shaped dolls from Crafty Anna blog are so adorable and easy to make.  Your child will enjoy finding one under their pillow, in their lunch box, and putting it in their pocket!
If you prefer sewing a doll similar to this, instead of crochet, you can find the pattern in the Winter 2008 issue of Living Crafts.

Dear Linda,

Why must you make such beautiful projects to make us want to cut corners from our vacation or lunch money so we could buy your book? It’s not fair!

That’s how I would start my letter to Linda, who has come up with the most unique crochet desgins for babies and children. If you have already overspent your book budget for this year, you must run to the library and request that they purchase this book for you and your community [along with a subscription to Living Crafts magazine of course]:

Little Crochet
Modern Designs for Babies and Toddlers – Available April 5, 2011
by Linda Permann (Potter Craft)

If you love crochet, but are always thirsty for more happy, stylish designs that are fun, but still practical and useful, Linda Permann as all the patterns you want for babies and toddlers, all in this one book!

Linda, author of Crochet Adorned has a proven track record crochet is not just for great grannies, but for modern moms and grannies. This book, along with Crochet Adorned are two of my top favorite crochet books.

Full review in the upcoming Spring 2011 issue of Living Crafts.

These sweet hearts from Design*Sponge have my attention for this Valentine’s Day. They are just so simple, and easy to do with a child too. If they have not learned how to crochet yet, they can start with the chain stitch and make the garland. Click here for the tutorial.
