Book Description

Follow 49 crochet block patterns to create beautiful home accessories from cushions and shoulder bags to lap and baby blankets!

Explore visual illusion, exciting colour contrasts, and geometric design in this guidebook for crocheters, yarn lovers, and quilters of all skill levels.

Using patchwork as her inspiration, this is a brand new, specially designed crochet block collection from the wonderfully talented Leonie Morgan. In these 49 patterns, Leonie explores visual illusion, contrast in light and shade, and beautiful geometry and all can be assembled into larger designs. Whether you are building up patterns with leftover yarn or setting out with a specific colour scheme in mind, this is a wonderfully creative process of creating a larger design from lots of smaller units.
 
This book includes:

  • 49 patchwork crochet patterns which can be used as the basis for yarn quilts
  • 4 beautiful projects: shoulder bag, baby blanket, geometric cushion, lap blanket
  • Tips on crochet techniques: stitches, colourwork, reading patterns and charts
  • Advice on assembling and edging your crochet blocks

And what’s more, you can use the lovely blocks as inspiration to create your own lovely, crocheted block pieces!

There are 49 fabulous blocks to make, which echo their stitched counterparts with names such as Flying Geese, Hourglass, Tumbling Blocks and Log Cabin and all of them can be put together into larger designs. Whether you are building up patterns with leftover yarn or setting out with a specific colour scheme in mind, this is a wonderfully creative process of creating a larger design from lots of smaller units.

There are four beautiful projects to make: a shoulder bag, a baby blanket, a geometric cushion and a beautiful lap blanket. A useful crochet techniques section describes the various stitches used, notes on colourwork and reading patterns and charts, and there is also advice on assembling the blocks and edging them. And, once you've got to grips with all of this, you can use the lovely blocks as inspiration to create your own lovely crocheted block pieces.
