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

This is a great book. Not only are there pictures of each finished block in color, but the patterns are clearly stated along with chart symbols. So you can read the line by line instructions or look at the chart symbols if you’re more experienced. There is also a basic crochet chart in the back to show you the stitches they mention throughout the book. No fancy stitches, just the basics. Reviews that the print was too smal-I understand some people may see it as that, but I had no issues reading/seeing the words. I’m 50 and wear glasses and have no issues reading every line. Plenty of adorable blocks to choose from and mix/match! Definitely worth the purchase price.

I read the other reviews and they all referred to the paper version of the book being very difficult to read. Not so with the Kindle edition! Beautiful pictures, in focus, that can be enlarged; diagrams that include color that can also be enlarged, and, of course, you set your own text size on your own device! Very, very easy to read! There are no in-process pictures of the blocks, so you either need to be able to read diagrams or abbreviations for crochet patterns or a combination of the 2. There are guides to both ways at the beginning of the book. Great layout in that the projects for each block or sets of blocks immediately follow those patterns, so there's very minimal jumping around the text. And the projects are very cute. Also, all of the food blocks are together, all of the animal blocks together, etc., which is very handy. The patterns are great, and the finished blocks are square at 90° and lay flat on the table, with the 3D parts sticking up, just like they should -- no adjustments needed! The patterns are well thought out and original.

Patterns go from easy to difficult and will be enjoyed by the novice or expert crochet artist. Full glossary, stitch how-tos and comprehensive patterns both written and diagrammed will give you some fab ideas about things to create.

So many bad reviews stating that the print is too small, “unreadable, how did this make it through editing.” It’s not that bad and definitely worth getting the book. Yes, the print is small, but if it wasn’t, you’d be reading patterns that were pages long. There’s a lot of info packed in here and they’ve formatted it this way so each pattern fits in a single page. If you know how to read a crochet pattern and can read smaller print, you’ll get through this just fine. The book is laid out very tidily and the patterns are adorable. Go for it.

The squares are adorable. I have a magnifying glass and will use to read directions which are small and quite light. A good portion of page is in stitch diagrams. I know many people who use the diagram over written directions. And it costs to make these. I have crocheted over fifty years and don’t want to learn the diagrams. I did read reviews. They do mention small print. They do not mention they are in a small font with off-color ink.

Exactly as described. Very cute patterns.

Very creative granny squares in this book. (Definitely not your traditional granny square). Pictures are great and pattern instructions are easy to follow. I highly recommend this book if you want to take your granny squares to the next level or bring them into the 21st century. For me, I saw a lot of room to combine patterns or change a few stitches to add my own unique style or flair to them.

This book contains all the patterns from the Food and Drink Granny Square and the Animal Granny Squares books. The patterns are clear and easy to follow.

Aimant les granny squares un peu décalés je m’amuse vraiment avec ce livre. Très pratique à utiliser en version Kindle (pas d’allers retours dans le livre)

The contents are really nice, cant wait to crochet usin these patterns

Esse livro me surpreendeu com as receitas lindas e bem escritas ! Tem várias fotos , receita escrita e gráfico. A única coisa ruim é que chegou jogado em uma caixa sem proteção de plástico e acabou amassando um pouco

Quite nice. Most interested in the flower squares to crochet a heirloom blanket to pass to my daughter. Lots of nice patterns at my fingertips rather than a print out from my computer and sometimes I want to turn and mark actual pages instead of using an app and my tablet. Thus book is bright and big and colorful. Easy to understand for beginners and intermediates and challenging enough for the experienced. It's a good buy though a little expensive for my kind of budget. This was a splurge but I'm happy with it.
