Block-by-Block Blankets and Afghans - Amanda Perkins

From Search Press, Block-by-Block Blankets and Afghans by Amanda Perkins is a riotously colourful crochet book filled with illustrated, block-by-block guidance for creating contemporary blankets and throws. Designed to be deceptively easy to achieve, the projects are built from simple motifs such as squares, hexagons and triangles, which are pieced together to form striking patterns and colour combinations.

Alongside 10 blanket projects, the book includes colour variations for 20 more, plus a collection of 20 individual motifs and filler shapes presented with both written instructions and crochet charts. You’ll also find practical guidance on yarns and hooks, joining motifs, sewing in ends, and a brief primer on choosing and using colour. The patterns are written using US crochet terminology, with a US-to-UK conversion chart provided on the fold-out flap.
