Critique de livre Crochet: The Granny Square Book

The Granny Square Book is a 2011 tutoriel 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.

Who This Crochet Book is For

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.

Format of the Crochet Book

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, bijoux, blankets and clothing.

Each pattern for the seventy five squares includes:

• Descriptive name (like picots or diamond square)
• Skill level
• Photo of finished square
• Symbol chart for creating square
• Quick tip instructions at the beginning (comme “work stitches into chains, not into spaces”)
• Clear round by round instructions

Certaines choses que j'aime

• Les photos et le texte du “bases de crochet” sections sont claires, plus clair que dans de nombreux autres livres, qui est grand pour tous les débutants.
• J'adore sérieusement les couleurs de printemps lumineux utilisés pour les échantillons et coudre photos de détail tout au long du livre. C'est juste amusant.
• La combinaison des instructions pour les places ainsi que le projet de faire des carrés. Cela rend le livre bien non seulement comme une simple collection de motifs, mais aussi comme un livre de modèle et une source d'inspiration créatrice.
• L'édition imprimée est à spirale. J'aime que parce qu'il repose à plat ce qui le rend beaucoup plus facile de travailler à partir de livres de crochet traditionnellement liés. Intelligent!

Obtenir le livre

Commander The Granny Square Book chez Amazon. Ou procurez-vous La version Kindle.

Je pense toujours “Granny Squares” comme se référant uniquement à la place traditionnelle mamie. Margaret Hubert dit tous ces motifs sont des carrés granny. Je préfère les appeler tous les carrés au crochet à la place de mamies. Voulez-vous appeler les carrés granny?
