This indispensable collection of patterns is perfect for Taylor Swift fans ready to graduate from bracelets to blankets (and for the fiber artists who love them). Crochet designer Sartori (“Friends”: The One with the Crochet) put together patterns inspired by the music and the icon. With pages set up like a scrapbook or bulletin board with stickers and stars, the book contains 20 projects that range from beginner-friendly options, such as the “All Too Well”–inspired red scarf, a “Never Grow Up” baby blanket, and a “Cardigan” sweater, to an advanced pattern for a “Love Story” wedding shawl. The designs capture the quality and essence of Swift’s albums with a deft mixture of whimsy and warmth. There’s also a detailed section about supplies and techniques and a glossary of crochet terms.
VERDICT This will inspire fans to pick up a crochet hook, but it’s also great for beginners interested in creating something a little different. Sartori has “Style” that will make any Swiftie into a “Lover” of the fiber arts, producing knits beyond their “Wildest Dreams.”
