Crafty Crochet Books!

Earlier this year I learned to crochet. Now I read crochet pattern books like I used to read cookbooks. I'm sure I'll go back to cookbooks again soon, but for now I am obsessed with learning more about crochet and amigurumi and gathering patterns and ideas to make more treasures for friends, family and myself.  -Lynnie 

Crochet Iconic Women and More Crochet Iconic Women by Carla Mitrani

I love Mitrani’s patterns. They are gorgeous and easy to follow and, frankly, so much fun! Her blog- www.amourfoucrochet.com - also provides great information and I recommend you follow it if you’re a fan of her patterns.

Her work is beautiful and I’m grateful she’s willing to share it with the rest of us. I recently followed her pattern for Ruth Bader Ginsburg and it turned out even better than I expected considering my experience (or lack, thereof). The instructions are clear and easy to follow, so I can't wait to make more of her iconic women in the very near future. 

 

 Crochet Zodiac Dolls by Carla Mitrani

Another fabulous book of patterns from Carla Mitrani. These are really fun & I’m eager to make my own astrological sign and a few for special friends and family.

I love the way Mitrani creates her patterns- they are gorgeous, easy to follow, and always sew out the way I expect. I’m a fan!

 

 

 

 

Kawaii Crochet Garden by Melissa Bradley

These are really cute patterns if you want to make a plant for all seasons. I’m particularly looking forward to trying to make the Coleus pattern, but there are so many options in this book! It truly has something for everyone. The patterns look easy to follow with lots of pictures to guide you as you crochet.



I’m so thankful my library has a great collection of craft books!
