With vibrant colors and striking designs, the classic diagonal box stitch is brought into the 21st century with Morgan’s (Animal Granny Squares) latest book. Also known as corner-to-corner or C2C, the stitch can appear dizzying and complex, especially in geometric patterns. But this book, with its clear photos and written instructions, makes the stitch accessible and easy to achieve. The patterns are organized by skill level and presented in colorful graphs and row-by-row instructions. There are both imperial and metric measurements, but the patterns solely use U.S. terminology. Yarn weights are listed too. The skill level is noted with each pattern, along with the hook and finished project size, the required yarn colors, and stitch abbreviations. If applicable, there are block sizes too. The afghan patterns range from ripples, stripes, geometric patterns, abstract, and gingham to sweet heart designs. There are also patterns to create rugs and pillows. Some designs are scrap busters, which is a bonus.
VERDICT Libraries can’t go wrong with this crochet title on their shelves.
