Amanda's bold and inspiring use of colour and pattern gives stunning results that are deceptively easy to achieve. This colourful book contains illustrated block-by-block guides to creating ten stunning blankets, with colour variations providing twenty further creations. Each of the ten blankets is constructed from a series of simple motifs, including squares, hexagons and triangles: creating a large and sumptuous blanket is simply a matter of piecing together simple, colourful motifs into wonderful arrangements.

Crochet at its Best!

This book is informative, colorful and gives the crocheter the tools to make these beautiful afghans! The motifs can also be used to create your own! Totally love the examples, the color schemes and also examples of other colors! There are also yarns that you can use which is helpful! A beautiful, feast for the eyes and will definitely be a great addition to a crafters library! Congrats Amanda on your first published book! Hope to see one on shawls/scarfs and more soon!

Pretty pics, simple and redundant patterns

Please don't waste your money. Buy one of her patterns on the web and you'll quickly learn these patterns are just a mix up of the same pattern elements. MOST IMPORTANT is not to purchase this and the blanket book. Literally, the patterns are the same!

Afghan Inspiration

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2017

Great crochet book - exactly what I wanted to create new gifts I don't want to give away! The blocks are simple and written out as well as charted. I prefer charts. The colors and block placement are inspiring. I don't need or want a book with step by step instructions to create a product that looks like any author's illustration, and this fits the bill. I don't know how this would be for crocheters who want to reproduce what they see illustrated in a book. There's not a lot of different block construction - more useful for color and placement ideas.

This book is fantastic..

Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2016

This book is fantastic....as is all of Amanda's work. Amanda's colour sense is brilliant, as well as infectious. As a result, her work focuses on the use of colour rather than lots of complicated stitches and techniques...this book is no exception. Each pattern contains no more than 3 motifs, so even a beginner can start with a blanket containing a single motif. In addition each pattern gives three potential colourways for ideas; the possibilities are endless.

colorful and clever and fun. And each one is DIFFERENT

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

These Afghan are not only colorful but they are UNIQUE. I rarely buy crochet books or magazines because most of the patterns are the same olkd granny squares or double crochet or wave pattern. Not this book! These Afghan remind me of patchwork quilts, colorful and clever and fun. And each one is DIFFERENT.

Color variety, but few patterns

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2018

Verified Purchase

Basically, there are very few patterns in this book, all some variation of granny squares and triangles. Variety is given by using different colorways. It's an OK book, but if you already have other books on color planning and granny squares, this book has nothing to add.

Very Inspiring Book

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2017

Verified Purchase

I struggle with color combinations and am frequently frustrated with my choices.
The author not only gives you the color schemes for each project, she also guides
you on how to combine the colors. For some reason, her way of explaining how to
combine colors works with me! I love this book and plan to purchase her other one.

Doesn't function properly after six months

Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2020

Verified Purchase

Is now stuck on one setting, the first one. It was not used often and was properly cleaned after each use, with great care not to wet any of the electrical parts. I would not purchase this again.
