Crochet Blocks in a Box
50 Great Designs at Your Fingertips
If you love to crochet afghans, you’ll enjoy Crochet Blocks in a Box by Luise Roberts, published by St. Martin’s Press. The handy, flip-top box contains 50 coated pattern cards and a 30-page companion booklet with a refresher course on basic crochet techniques, colors, design tips and a complete visual index of all the blocks -- with 10 recipes for putting them together to create a delightful afghan or throw. All are sized just right to slip easily into a project bag or pocket. Skill levels range from beginner to experienced.
The block designs include lacy, figurative, medallions, rosettes, chevrons and more, some with beaded effects. The cards feature full-color photos on the front with complete directions and charts on the back. Some blocks even have alternate color or stitch variations. Great for crocheters on-the-go, each card offers at-a-glance icons to indicate skill level, direction of work and best applications, from baby blankets to larger afghans.
