Crochet Animal Rugs Over 20 Crochet Patterns for Fun Floor Mats and Matching Accessories by Ira Rott
What I like about this book right off the bat are the colors, shapes and other added bonuses throughout the book.
Starts with a table of contents where each animal shape has it's own section and added projects to make.
Book then starts with an introduction about how you can use this book to decoate your space.
Color photos along the way.
Skill levels are discussed and many tips are highlighed as the porjects go on.
Size and gauge, patterns, charts, tools, charts of converstions, yarn choice, other equipments, linign for rugs, wall hangings.
Each animal starts with a title along with a summary of the items and what colors were used.
After the title, there is a skill level, color photo of all the items in this section then the technical parts: finished size, hook, yarn weight, strands used, gauge with 3 strands, stitch summary, skills, left hand crochet instructions.
Yarn and amounts you will need ti laid out in a chart. Directions start by telling you how many strands to use and what color and hook size.
Each part of the animals has very easy to follow instructions. Diagrams are shown as you need them with details.
Charted instructions are also shown if you perfer to use that method vs. row by row instructions.
Good charts showing how to assemble the animal. Other projects with the same animal theme area slo given. Some include a pillow, stool cover, security blanket, placemat, toy bag, book bag.
Other technical information is provided: crochet terms, abbrevaiations, other useful information about working with 3 strands, weaving in ends, etc.
About the author, thanks nad list of suppliers is also provided. Tables of measuements for hook and yarn weights: US, UK, Austr, per 100g.
What I also like are the charts for describing and working the stitches: it shows the abbrevation name, symbol used in charts, description in US terms and some actually show you how to make them with pictures. Such a great resource.
I think my favorite would be the crab because of the bright color and I live in New England.
There are 7 animal shapes but so much more with different accessories for them all. Everything is so well detailed with pictures, diagrams and instructions anybody should be able to complete all the projects.
Received this review copy from F+W Media via Netgalley and this is my honest opinion.
