Reseña del libro de ganchillo: La Granny Square libro

The Granny Square Book is a 2011 tutorial crochet, motif and pattern book by Margaret Hubert. Just take a look at its gorgeous colorful cover and you can see that in many ways it’s the ideal crochet book for spring!

About Margaret Hubert

Margaret Hubert is not new to the world of knitting and crochet. She owned a yarn shop back in the early 1960s; she published her first book on knitting in the 1970s, and she had a hand knitting business in New York in the 1980s. A great interview with her over at Crochet Insider says that she learned to knit from her mom as a child and then learned to crochet in her late teens from a yarn shop owner. She is perhaps best known among both knitters and crocheters for her great freeform work. Margaret’s website is the best source for more information.

Quien Esta Crochet libro es para

This backpack was designed by Hubert’s granddaughter in her favorite colors. Looks like the talent was passed on. The pattern is in the book.

This book is good for beginners who want to learn some crochet basics and then apply them to a wide range of different projects. This book also works for experienced crocheters who want to diversify their square-based projects. The crochet square is such a fundamental part of many items so this book is truly good for any crocheter. I know I like it.

Dogwood Flower Crochet Square, pattern in the book by Margaret Hubert

There are three different parts to this crochet book. First is the intro and the basics of crochet (like you find in many crochet pattern and tutorial books) with special emphasis on tips for making squares. Next up is a section showing the patterns for seventy five different crochet squares. And then the third part is called “designing with granny squares” and this shows you how to take squares and make them into shawls, jewelry, blankets and clothing.

Each pattern for the seventy five squares includes:

• Nombre descriptivo (like picots or diamond square)
• Nivel
• Photo of finished square
• Symbol chart for creating square
• Quick tip instructions at the beginning (como “work stitches into chains, not into spaces”)
• Clear round by round instructions

Some Things I Love

• The photos and text in the “conceptos básicos de crochet” sections are clear, clearer than in many other books, which is great for any beginners.
• I seriously love the bright springtime colors used for the swatches and stitch detail pictures throughout the book. It’s just fun.
• The combination of instructions for squares as well as project to make squares. This makes the book good not only as just a collection of motifs but also as a pattern book and a source of creative inspiration.
• The print edition is spiral bound. I love that because it lays flat which makes it so much easier to work from than traditionally bound crochet books. Inteligente!

Get The Book

Order La Granny Square libro from Amazon. O conseguir The Kindle Version.

Siempre pienso en “cuadrados de la abuelita” as only referring to the traditional granny square. Margaret Hubert says all of these motifs are granny squares. I prefer to call them all crochet squares instead of grannies. Would you call them granny squares?
