this is one of those books that should be standard in any serious crocheters' library. there are so many things to like about it, i hope i remember them all. first, it's spiral bound and a nice size (about 8"x9") to tote around. besides squares, the author explores circles, hex's, triangles, and other shapes in great detail. there are 144 motifs altogether, and some are very unique. she even has helpful tips to designing your own as if there weren't enough in the book already. also included are many extra tips that would benefit any type of crochet, not just making motifs. i found this book to be a great source of inspiration, and i'm looking forward to incorporating several of the designs into items of my own imagination. there is a section explaining written pattern directions that is very clear...this can be of use in the future to help you with ANY other books' patterns, and i especially loved the thorough explanations at the beginning of the book on the whole process of making motifs (and keeping them flat) i'm very pleased with this book and highly recommend it.Read full review
I haven't picked up a hook in 30+ years and wanted to get back to crocheting. I purchased this because it covered all the different shapes. I am enjoying trying out the different patterns. The instructions are good and there is a nice sized picture of each block.

This is the ideal book for any crocheting novice or someone that has been crocheting for years. Instructions are easy. I wish I had this book years ago.

This is an absolutely GORGEOUS Book! The instructions are concise and easy to understand; full color photos add to the appeal, and the addition of graphs is a further aid to ease of use. The spiral binding could be all any reader would want, if not that some of the inked pages stick together upon initial perusal, compromising the integrity of the book by causing tears. Overall, a book that I highly recomend to crafts-persons of all skill levels.
love 2 crochet & have tried a lot of these motifs but some have never seen. enjoying these motifs. nothing wrong with this book. this is my opinion.
