Book Reviews of 201 Crochet Motifs, Blocks Patterns and Ideas
Book Review: Cute & Useful Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I am so glad that I bought this book. I am a beginning crocheter and I found the patterns and pictures very helpful. I am making the Amish afghan, which has beautiful colors. The projects each have easy to follow diagrams along with the usual written instructions. The motifs are adorable and the last section shows you how to put them together in projects. I love the sheep and the scotty dog and maybe some day I'll learn to crochet well enough to make them! It is fun to page through and look at all the motifs. Like another reviewer, my only fault with the book is that it does not recommend needle sizes.
