The Art of Crochet Blankets 18 Projects Inspired by Modern Makers by Rachele Carmona
What I like about this book are many things: the vibrant colors, the shapes and how each designer has their own section in the book.
Title says it all, it is art and it is crochet blankets. Starts with a table of contents where each of the six designers get their own chapters for their works.
There are also sections at the end: techniques, abbreviations, glossary, about the author and yarn resources.
Beautful color photos throughout.
Each section we find the designer and a bit about them, the artist and the inspiration.
Each pattern starts with color photos, title, summary of the finished piece and finished size, materials needed: yarns, hook notion and gauge and stitch guide.
Pattern starts out with good detailed instrucitons with help also from a color key chart for placement. Some also have charts for making the designs but also have printed words.
There is no level of expertise but I think a very new beginner would have some problems following along.
Love seeing the textures. Love also that a male designer is also included in this collection of blankets.
Amazing how the designers got the art into the crochet stittches. Look so real, exquisite and stunning.
Like them all-so different than afghans I've made in the past. Layered waves and ombre stripes are my favorites as I've started quilting just this past week.
What a KEEPER!
Received this review copy from F+W Media via Netgalley and this is my honest opinion.
