3D Granny Squares: 100 crochet patterns for pop-up granny squares

The book contains several projects, seasonal, cute, practical ideas.The patterns are in both forms (written and designed, with symbols). Acronyms and symbols are explained and at the end of the book there's a chapter with stitches explained.I love the book but I'd not recommend it to an absolute beginner.Most suited for intermediate level.

Lots of patterns to try. It has a good guide at the start showing what symbols represent what type of stitch. Also makes you aware that the book is in US terms (and has a key for UK ones too). There's a section at the end that shows you "how to" the stitches.I'm still fairly new and sometimes struggle following written patterns but the charts in this really help.

This is a brilliant book, with lots of lovely squares to make. Don't be put off by some of the negative reviews regarding print size. I didn't have any problems reading the patterns, and I have to wear glasses. Each square fits onto one page, which is great when crocheting as you don't need to keep turning the pages over.There seem to be lots of complaints about the book being written in US terms, but that shouldn't put you off either. It's very easy to convert to UK terms in your head as you work if you need too. It really is an essential skill to master as so many patterns are written in US terms.Other people have commented that not all the squares come out the same size. That's true if you follow the patterns exactly as written, but I very easily made some slight alterations (using a different size hook or different stitch) and was able to produce squares which were all the same size. I was able to join them very easily to make a baby blanket as shown in the photos.This book probably isn't ideal if you've only just started to crochet, but if you are reasonably experienced then you can produce some beautiful items from it.

I really like the cute 3D crochet blocks, and was planning to make a baby blanket. The only criticism I have with the book is it doesn’t it give the actual finished sizes of the blocks.I’m assuming they all work up to the same size. 🤞I haven’t worked any samples yet.

These are delightful to and fun to make them. I'm hoping I can finish a blanket with these patterns and gift it to my small niece, she's going to absolutely love it!

For my daughter who loves to crochet

Absolutely love this book! Not made any yet but I have big plans. Was gutted when I couldn't find it for a while but then total relief when I did. There's lots of variety in the book and you can mix and match all of the squares to make whatever you like.

A great book if you’re looking for inspiration in making an animal themed crocheted blanket. The patterns are easy to follow and the results are very pleasing.
