I love quilts, but don't sew, but I crochet. This is the nearest I have come to achieving that. The designs are lovely. The beginning of the book helps you understand the process. My daughter loves them all, I might have my work planned for a little while.
Customer Review
This book will enable me to learn how to use multiple colour yarns in the same shapes, adding more interest to the designs. I'm thrilled with my honeycomb! Having both the written and picture diagram patterns helps too and each are clearly presented.

Great book, patterns are just like cloth patchwork.

Amazon Customer Review
There are a lot of great blocks in this book, a few squared circles and some bobbles. They are mostly made using two stitches which makes them great for beginners. For the more experienced crocheter, they might be a bit too basic and similar to each other.
I really like the suggested layout plans with each block and there is also a fold out US to UK stitches conversion chart which is really handy when working.
All in all a really nice book, I'll be making a blanket using the cottage pattern for sure.
Customer Review
Fantastic for those that are a little bit more confident with crochet. Set out perfectly with written and chart instructions. Easy to follow.
