It Girl Crochet Book Review

Continuing on with Crochet Book Celebration month today I’ve got a review of It Girl Crochet: 23 Must-Have Accessories by Sharon Zientara.

3 Crochet Themes

The crochet accessories patterns in this book are separated into three cute crochet themes:

• Crochet Nouveau. Flirty, feminine, vintage-informed crochet designs inspired by art noveau.
• It’s a Mod, Mod World. Retro 1960s inspired crochet designs.
• A Brave New Boho. Hippie chic for contemporary free spirits.

Terrific Crochet Designers

Sharon Zientara edited/ curated this great collection of patterns but they come from a range of amazing designers including:

• Kathy Merrick
• Aoibhe Ni
• Annette Petavy
• Robyn Chachula
• Shelby Allaho
• Linda Skuja
• Brenda K.B. Anderson
• Yumiko Alexander

And that’s just a handful of the designers. A great representation of today’s crochet designers fill this book.
