The Block Collection: 150 Inspiring Stash-Busting Shapes to Knit and Crochet

150 flexible knitted and crocheted motifs to mix and match for afghans, blankets and throws.

Afghan squares have delighted knitters and crocheters for decades, with bright colours, endless design possibilities, and ease of stitching. This book gives stitchers a world of new shapes and new possibilities, from simple hearts and flowers to swirls, shells and snowflakes.

Over 150 unique block shapes are beautifully presented in a tempting directory of different shapes, motifs, and textures. You will even find pretty little joining blocks and edging ideas. At the back of the book are the patterns and charts for all the motifs, and each one comes with a mix-and-match suggestion for how the new block shapes might be combined.
