McCall's Big Book of Treasures for Baby

undefined. Chilton Book Company, $14.95 (272pp) ISBN 978-0-8019-7619-3

McCall's editors present here more than 100 multi-technique projects intended as gifts for babies up to 18 months old. While knitted and crocheted buntings, sweaters and coverlets dominate the collection, sewing and embroidery fans will find some cross stitch, patchwork, applique and needlepointbibs, growth charts, Christmas and animal toys, puffed quilts, calico pups and kittens. Project directions are meticulous and have information on materials, sizes and gauges. For beginners, basic techniques are illustrated concisely in the back of the book along with keys to the crafts' abbreviated directions. Photos not seen by PW. October
