The Crochet Sensory Book is bound to be a treasured heirloom in my home. It is a fun crochet project to create. It gives the creator a chance to learn new crochet stitches and gives the receiving child a beautiful book to flip through and feel all the different textures. You can now purchase an Ad-free PDF version of the entire book pattern.

My daughter was stealing my sample swatches to sit and pet them before I even finished the book. At 14 months, she loves to flip through books and the look and feel books are here favorite. This book is the perfect gift for a baby or toddler.
The Crochet Sensory Book is one of the final patterns from the March Texture Madness. During this Crochet Along we learned 9 texture stitches and created 3 items that can be made with the samples swatches.

Slip Stitch Video Tutorial
I wanted to add something special to the top of the book cover so I Surface Slip Stitched a flower to the front and added a few butterfly buttons. Follow the video tutorial to learn to Surface Slip Stitch to add your own touch to your book cover.
Sew a button to the center of the book cover and use the loop to close the book.
Note of caution. Some people do not like to use buttons on baby items. If you are concerned about the buttons, simply omit them. My daughter is supervised when playing with her book and does not tend to pull on the buttons, so I included them on her book.
Sewing in your Pages
Once your cover is complete you will just need to whip stitch in your sample swatches. I used a very long piece of yarn and started at the top of one page and sewed down that page, then moved over to the next page and sewed up the edge of that page. I continued this until I ran out of yarn or had all the pages sewn in.
