🧶 Surprising Afghan Creations: Inventive Crochet Designs Embracing Time-Honored Techniques Review

One of the best crochet books I've found - so many great patterns. I usually only find one or two patterns that I want to make from a particular book - this one has at least 10 or more that I want to make! This is a thick book with LOTS of patterns and crochet patterns like reverse, tunisian and more. I highly recommend this book if you love to crochet and want to find something different than any other book!

The book contains great patterns and lots of new stitches to learn! Don't be fooled by the simple Afghani pattern on the cover - these are intricate patterns and it takes a little work to get them right! After starting and untangling the 'Vik' afghan panel a few times (more like an 8th), I settled on a lighter cabled afghan in the book to rebuild my grip. I am an avid knitter and have made many Afghan items; This is the perfect gift for any seasoned knitter looking for something new.

I made Exploded Pineapple and Smocked Elegance quilts from this book. I am new to crocheting and this book contains a variety of crochet blankets and techniques to help me grow as a knitter. The quilts range from heavy to lacy, striped to granny themed and have great tips for every project. I want to do Starburst Entrelac and Mission Cable quilts, but I'll have to wait until I have more time to devote to those projects. I recommend this book to both beginners and experienced knitters.
