101 Crochet Squares (#1216) Paperback – January 1, 1996

I was looking for more "granny square" patterns and came across this book and ordered it.It becomes hard finding "fresh new" patterns if you have picked up crochet books in the past. I was thrilled with many of the patterns in this book, since they were different from the ones I already had. It was just what I wanted; lots of lovely patterns so that I could make my own creative designed afghan.I would consider myself beyond a beginner in crochet, however not advanced, and the instructions of the squares I have made were easy and clear.I think this book is for anyone wanting to expand their square pattern library, and worth the money.

I purchased this item for me. I go to Crochet Classes once a week and crochet for our hospitals, nursing homes and other business that are in need. I saw this book from a friend and loved it. It is not a new book, so I knew I would have a hard time finding it. My first thought was AMAZON. That's where I found it at a great price and in new condition.

Happy With the book. Looking forward to trying out the designs. Have almost completed an afghan using one of the designs.

This is the second time I have ordered this book. The first one was lost and I missed it so I ordered it again. The book does not list finished sizes for all the squares but since I just keep measuring and adding rows til I get where I need to be it works for me. The instructions are fairly easy to understand but beginners may miss the stitch graphics. I would recommend this book for those looking for basic square patterns.

If you are new to crocheting, like I was, then this is THE perfect book to start with. After completing a few squares, I decided to make all 101. And I did. Check out my journey at my blog, This Year's Dozen. The book author even left a comment on my blog which made my day.(...)

Has very good directions and examples. This is the book to have for making colorful afghans. Has charts and written row by row instructions.

This book has the Crochet Squares I needed. I've already used one of the squares for Christmas craft. I look forward to using the others for an afghan. Great selection of squares.

I like the book and some of the squares are really neat. I just wish that they would have put the picture of the square next to the directions. They have the pictures on the front and back (the only ones in color BTW) and in the center of the book. They are numbered and when you find one you like you look up that number elsewhere in the book.

Just what I wanted..love it...

Um livro adorável. As fotos, de cada um dos quadros, são uma possibilidade para a execução dos trabalhos, mesmo para quem não domina o idioma. Há uma grande variedade, tanto de modelos quanto de combinação de cores, que estimulam a imaginação e o desejo de criar peças ricas e variadas.Gostei da compra!

If you can only have 2 books this along with 101 granny squares are the 2 to get. They cannot be seperated in their excellent quality, instructions and overall content.I an now using my second copy of this book - the first one fell apart after much use and if anything is wrong with it, then it is the fact that like most books they do just fall to pieces easily.The scope of this book is tremendous and it takes you on a journey of creativity each time it is used. I cannot praise it enough. It is quite easy to interact the patterns with each other.

A parade of squares from easy-easy to a little more challenging but nothing too frightening. Great instructions and an ideal book for the beginner to the little more advanced. To be honest, for me this is a pattern book that will be used over and over for filler squares and there are very, very few squares that I wouldn't make - and how rare is that in a book of 101 squares? Not always easy to find a copy now but well worth searching one out. A most delightful book.

I like it. It's a good book and there are lots of too try out.Davidina
