Create one-of-a-kind striped modular blankets with this unique mix-and-match approach. Featuring 100 crochet strip patterns for modern striped blankets, this book opens up a world of design possibilities for crochet blankets, how you choose to combine the strips is completely up to you! Making modular blankets is not a new concept, but most books tend to focus on granny squares to do this. By crocheting individual strips instead, you can achieve a much more modern look, with pattern, colour and texture variations tailored to suit your individual style. Working in this modular way makes crocheting blankets achievable, portable and fun, as each strip is worked along the short edge, making long starting chains a thing of the past! Each strip pattern is given in US crochet terms, with written pattern and chart for making a standard throw-blanket-width strip (40in/100cm across). Advice is given on adjusting the width of the strips for smaller or larger blankets. The strip patterns are broken down into chapters including: • Classic Stitches • Tapestry Crochet • Mosaic Crochet • Texture • Cables and Ribs • Embellishments This collection offers almost infinite possibilities to create unique striped blankets that are fun to work on as well as beautiful when finished. As well as the 100 strip patterns, there are 5 example blankets showing different combinations of strips, plus additional ideas for using the strips in other ways, such as scarves, bags and homewares. Review: Awesome and inspiring resource! - This book is a great resource for beginners and experience crafters alike. Please note that in many ways, this book is a stitch compendium. Although the author does have a selection of pre-designed blankets for you to use as inspiration the majority of the book is made up of motifs for you to piece together yourself. This is exactly what I wanted, so no complaints here, but this does mean you're going to need to be keen to get designing if you want to make the most of this resource. I have already incorporated techniques from this book into an existing project, and I expect that I will make many things using this book. Great colour photos, really clear instructions, including charts if that's your thing. Review: Fab book! Love it - I just love, love, love this book. So far I have made two of the blankets, one as a gift the other for myself. Haven’t really changed the colours, but next time I will be more adventurous with colour matching. Great patterns, some work better than others but overall very happy with the book.

Fab book! Love it
I just love, love, love this book. So far I have made two of the blankets, one as a gift the other for myself. Haven’t really changed the colours, but next time I will be more adventurous with colour matching. Great patterns, some work better than others but overall very happy with the book.

A Brilliant Book
I absolutely love this book. The possibilities are endless. It is well written and has good pictures for every stripe. I have even learnt a new stitch - the Crunch Stitch. It is so tactile. Crochet stripes are the new granny square! The stripes crochet up quickly and it doesn’t get boring. Everyone will produce a unique item. I love, love, love it.

Good pictures and written patterns
Good easy to read book, some of the charts are a bit tricky to read but overall good book with clear instructions and a good variety of stitches

Refreshingly different modular pattern book.
A nice twist to the standard mix and match granny square books. Patterns for an interesting selection of strips to make throws. Suggestions for a few finished items but instructions make it easy to design your own mix. Instructions are in American terms which I didn’t find a problem but could confuse beginners used to UK terminology, the patterns are detailed enough to follow whichever terminology you are used to.

Worth the money
Absolutely amazing. Bought it because a friend in our knitting and crochet group discovered it and I liked all the different designs and possibilities. My yarn stash needs to be reduced and this is a great way to get started. Already crocheted like 8 different panels for a blanket ☺️ Definitely worth the money.

Beautiful quirky designs
This is a lovely book for the novice or experienced crocheter. Well set out, detailed and beautifully photographed, I love the fact that the designs are quirky and a little different to run of the mill patterns, while also giving inspiration to create something unique to the reader. I’ve been crocheting a long time and I love the fact that this book gives me a wee challenge and a fresh take on the craft.

Ótima experiência em compra internacional
Foi uma ótima experiência comprar através da Compra Internacional, chegou antes da data prevista, bem embalado. O livro é sensacional. A única ressalva é para as comunicações do rastreio, mandaram todo o tempo de rastreio de uma vez só, e ainda com uma mensagem de que dia 16.05 a encomenda havia saido para entrega e pedindo desculpas, não sei pelo que, e que eu esperasse até dia 28 porque estava atrasada a entrega ou eu cancelasse. Não entendi nada tentei no atendimento a cliente mas não souberam explicar. E hoje dia 20 chegou sem nenhuma alteração no rastreio. Essa parte precisa melhorar. No maus foi ótima Compra.

Consigliatissimo
Bel libro con spiegazioni chiare e dettagliate. Sebbene sia in inglese i punti sono spiegati con schemi e illustrazioni comprensibili. Mi interessava trovare qualcosa sul crochet che fosse moderno e attuale e, nonostante nel libro sia illustrata solo la realizzazione di alcune coperte, la varietà di punti da cui sono composte secondo me lo rende completo. Inoltre per me che mi annoio facilmente, avere un progetto grande e ripetitivo sarebbe stato un progetto sicuramente abbandonato a metà. In questo modo invece lavoro su piccoli progetti (le diverse strisce) esercitandomi ogni volta su un diverso punto crochet, per poi comporre la coperta. Inoltre ci sono le spiegazioni per unire le varie parti, rifinire la coperta e metterla in forma. Veramente ben fatto.
