A Modern Guide to Granny Squares : Awesome Color Combinations and Designs for Fun and Fabulous Crochet Blocks (Paperback)

I saw this crochet book in a review video on YouTube and I really loved the patterns that she made from this book. While it does have beginner and intermediate patterns, it also as quite a few advanced crochet patterns. It is my hope that if I do all of the beginner patterns and work my way through them, that I will get good enough to be called skilled too. I do have one complaint and that is the skill levels are circles that are darkened to indicate the skill, and some of them are so light that it was hard to tell what the skill level is. I ended up deciding that they were likely advanced and all the circles had been colored in. It should not have been so hard to figure out!! A glance should have been sufficient. Otherwise, I'm excited to get started. The patterns are larger than the average granny square, but I believe if you scale down the yarn gauge and the hook size, you can make them smaller than measured on the pattern instructions. Some of them I noticed were 6 inches per side, which is actually rather large. But the good thing is that if you're making a garment or a blanket and you have to make a lot of them, that larger size is pretty nice.
