Crochet 20 different granny squares, in a variety of gorgeous designs and colors.

Granny squares are perfect for helping you become proficient in crochet, thanks to their repeating stitches and patterns. They're also excellent stashbusters and portable projects, as they use only small amounts of yarn and are relatively small in size.

Once you've made the multitude of lovely squares in this book, Val Pierce has shared a number of project ideas that you can make with your newly made blocks – from a sweet 'n simple coaster and retro cushion to pretty fingerless gloves and a beautiful baby blanket.

This is a fantastic little project book in a handy pocket-size format, so you can crochet your favorite squares wherever you go.

"Expert knitter and crocheter Pierce (100 Essential Crochet Stitches) offers readers a fun, user-friendly overview of granny squares and instructions for achieving this motif designed to work in clusters. The book contains a complete but brief history of where the term came from, step-by-step details about tool selection and stitches, and 20 new designs that require only small amounts of yarn. There’s a handy overview of special stitches, but it would’ve been useful to have more photo illustrations of the techniques for visual learners. With instructions for squares and entire projects, such as a sunflower tote, fingerless gloves, coasters, and more, the book offers both specific patterns and inspiration for readers to incorporate the designs into everything from blankets and home decor to garments.  VERDICT All levels of crocheters can benefit from this title. A valuable addition to any library’s selection of crochet guidebooks."
