Mouth-watering variety of granny squares,
By A Customer
This review is from: Crocheting Patchwork Patterns (Dover Needlework) (Paperback)
All skill levels will find what they are looking for in this book which not only has clear and concise instructions, but very good photographs and illustrations. The selection of featured granny squares includes something for everyone, and the author has explained herself with wit and humor.

Useful and Fun Way to Use Scraps,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Crocheting Patchwork Patterns (Dover Needlework) (Paperback)
This book contains 23 granny square patterns that imitate quilt squares. But in the pattern section it contains patterns for using these unusual squares, which can be made with scrap yarn, in clothing. Coats and jackets made with these unusual squares join the afghans you would usually think of when you consider them. No stitch variations - all work is single crochet - but the color changes make the patterns distinct.

Four stars if you love vintage crochet books,
By Underground Crafter - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Crocheting Patchwork Patterns (Dover Needlework) (Paperback)
(This review is part of a series of reviews of books in my granny square collection. For these reviews, the # of granny squares refers to the number of patterns for squares that are crocheted in the round, not the total number of patterns in the book.) Summary: A pattern booklet featuring crocheted versions of classic quilt blocks, including five projects using the squares. Uses U.S. pattern abbreviations. # of granny squares: 0 (all motifs in this book are worked in rows) What I like: As a lover of quilts, the concept of this book really appealed to me. Although the book is black and white, the covers fold out to include color pictures of each motif and completed pattern. The booklet lays flat so you can crochet and read at the same time. There is a small illustrated instruction section at the beginning of the book which reviews basic stitches. What I didn't like or what's missing: There are no international stitch symbols. The projects are dated. However, if you love vintage crochet books, you will love the modular sweaters made with crocheted quilt blocks. Some of the patterns seem designed in the most complex way possible and frequently include multiple small pieces rather than frequent color changes on one piece. Type: Booklet. Overall rating (out of 5 stars): I give the book 3 stars for utility and 4 stars for being a fun, vintage crochet book. |
