The Best Things About This Book
These blankets are all spectacular! They’d make impressive gifts, or they’d be a beautiful addition to your own home decor.
The color photographs in this book are appealing and well done.
The book includes helpful tips, plus photo tutorials with instructions for several useful crochet techniques like foundation single crochet and double borders.
These patterns look complex, but once you wrap your head around how to do this technique, it’s easier than you’d think — because you’re only crocheting with one color at a time.
(Still, this is not a book I’d recommend to complete beginners. If you’re a beginner to crochet, see this page of recommendations for the best beginning crochet books for recommendations that would be more easily doable for you at this stage of your crochet journey).
Other Observations About This Book
There is not a lot of variety in these projects. All the projects in the book are blankets, and they are all made using the same technique.
You’ll get the best value from this book if you can read and use charts. This book does include text instructions, too, but there are places in the book where you might need to use both text and charts together, or just use the charts, to figure out what to do. So if you can’t / don’t want to use charts, you might find yourself at a disadvantage with this book, and working from it probably isn’t going to be the most enjoyable experience for you. You’re likely to enjoy better success with a different book.
I checked this book out of the library multiple times but did not actually have time to work from it. Since the patterns are all charted, it looks to me like they’d be fairly easy to follow.
Conclusion
I’m delighted to recommend this book to other crochet enthusiasts, particularly to crocheters who enjoy working from charts and want to make new blankets that are similar in design to the one pictured on the book’s front cover.
