200 Crochet Blocks for Blankets, Throws and Afghans - Jan Eaton

Jan Eaton’s 200 Crochet Blocks for Blankets, Throws and Afghans is a paperback craft book that explores crochet through a wide range of mix-and-match block designs. Published by David & Charles, it brings together contemporary and traditional patterns, with clear step-by-step illustrations to guide both new and experienced crafters.

Designed for those creating afghans, wall hangings and accessories, the book explains stitches and techniques including working in rows, working in the round, joining blocks and making figures. At-a-glance symbols indicate the methods used and level of difficulty, making it easier to navigate each project. Jan Eaton’s approach also encourages experimentation with colour, pattern and texture across 200 block designs, from Art Deco geometric patterns to traditional chequer-board stripes and more elaborate motifs.
