Books Create Crochet

Crochet Yourself Calm New Book Review

I enjoy writing blog post book reviews and I eagerly look forward to new crochet books being published. I expect them all to reveal hidden wonders within their shiny new pages. Not all books are good books, the more I read the more I learn.

Crochet Yourself Calm book review:

This newly released, little gem, by Carmen Heffernan (owner of the Annie Design Etsy store)  has an interesting angle and an unusual title. ‘Crochet Yourself Calm’

There are no tips explaining how to crochet yourself calm? The book, explains in the preface, the calming effects that crochet has on most of us. The act of losing oneself in the process of creating. Probably the reason I pick up my hook and yarn after a busy day?

The Patterns in Crochet Yourself calm ;:

What it does offer is 144 pages of easy repeat patterns, motifs, projects and instructions. The stitches will calm you because they are purposely rhythmic. Not too much counting and nothing to tax an experienced crocheter.

Each section is divided up into circles, squares, triangles, stripes and zig-zags. This book has 50 patterns and 20 projects. Whatever your preferred project to work on, you are sure to find something to inspire you and therefore ‘calm’ you.

I am enjoying the patterns and texture of combining stitches in my latest blanket project and this book has some interesting stitch combo suggestions, my favourite on page 96 being the ‘Cluster and v stitch strip’

A perfect gift

Crochet yourself calm would make a perfect gift for the crocheter lover and as usual Searchpress books are great value for money, this one being £10.99. If I didn’t already have it I’d put it on my ‘wanted’ list.
