Rainbow Crocheted BlanketsA block-by-block guide to creating colourful afghans and throwsAMANDA PERKINS

Publication October 2016Price £12.99ISBN 9781782211570Format Paperback 260 x 204 mmExtent 128 pagesIllustrations 200 Colour IllustrationsPublisher Search PressClassification Crochet DesignsBIC CODE/S WFBSSALES REGIONS WORLD

DescriptionAmanda's bold and inspiring use of colour and pattern gives stunning results that are deceptively easy to achieve. This colourful book contains illustrated block-by-block guides to creating ten stunning blankets, with colour variations providing twenty further creations. Each of the ten blankets is constructed from a series of simple motifs, including squares, hexagons and triangles: creating a large and sumptuous blanket is simply a matter of piecing together simple, colourful motifs into wonderful arrangements.

This book is for crocheters ready to move on from the basic granny square and looking for a range of motifs in different shapes and sizes that can be joined together to create sophisticated finished pieces. The book begins with some basic instruction on yarns and hooks, how to join motifs and sew in ends, but no instruction on how to crochet, as this is not a beginner's book. For each blanket there is an index of motifs used, accompanied by the instructions for how to make them: both in written form and as a chart. Also provided are the various 'fillers', designed to fill the little gaps between the motifs in the finished blanket or throw. Each project has a full colour chart, and takes the reader block by block through the entire construction process.

Key Selling PointsA step on from the humble granny square, this book takes pretty crocheted motifs and uses them as the building blocks for gorgeous blankets, afghans and throws Contains 10 block-by-block projects, with colour variations for 20 moreEach project contains both crochet charts and written instructions, and there are separate UK and US editions of the book

About The AuthorAmanda Perkins designs and crochets her own blankets, throws, shawls and scarves, and her patterns can be found on Craftsy, Etsy and Ravelry.
