There is nothing quite like a crochet book sale to make a yarn lover suddenly very good at justifying things.
“It’s for reference.”
“It would make a good gift.”
“I already have yarn for that.”
“It’s practically saving money.”
And honestly? Sometimes it is. Crochet books are one of those craft supplies that keep giving long after the sale price has disappeared. You can pull them out for gift ideas, quick weekend projects, Christmas makes, amigurumi inspiration, new stitches, granny square variations, and those evenings when you want to crochet but your brain refuses to choose a project.
I spotted these 20 crochet books on sale right now in Amazon’s crochet book deals, and there are some very fun finds here — from Star Wars crochet and cute creepy amigurumi to granny squares, crochet snowflakes, houseplants, fantasy creatures and beginner-friendly crochet projects.

Star Wars Crochet Pattern Book
If you know a crocheter who also happens to be a Star Wars fan, this is the sort of book that becomes an instant gift idea. Character crochet books are always fun because they give you a very specific reason to sit down and make something.
This one would be especially good for teens, pop culture fans, handmade birthday gifts, Christmas stockings, or anyone who likes their crochet with a little galactic drama.
Best for: pop culture crochet, handmade gifts, Star Wars fans
Why I’d grab it: themed crochet books make brilliant gift buys, especially when they are marked down.
Mini Amigurumi Animals
Tiny amigurumi animals are dangerously cute. They are also brilliant for using up small bits of yarn, which means you can absolutely pretend this book is a stash-busting investment.
Mini animal patterns are great for keychains, bag charms, desk buddies, stocking stuffers, craft fair items and small handmade gifts. They are also a nice way to practise shaping and finishing without committing to a huge project.
Best for: amigurumi lovers, scrap yarn, small gifts
Why I’d grab it: tiny crochet animals are quick, giftable and very easy to become obsessed with.
Granny’s Little Blocks
Granny square and block books are always worth having on the shelf because they are so flexible. You can turn blocks into blankets, scarves, cushion covers, bags, table runners or even join-as-you-go projects.
A book like this is ideal for crocheters who enjoy modular projects. You can make one block at a time, which is perfect for TV crochet, travel crochet or “I only have 20 minutes but still want to feel productive” crochet.
If you love this style, you might also enjoy browsing our crochet archives for more granny square crochet ideas.
Best for: granny square fans, blanket makers, stash-busting
Why I’d grab it: crochet blocks are endlessly reusable across different projects.
Cute ’N Creepy Crochet
This one is such a fun title. Cute creepy crochet is perfect for anyone who likes amigurumi with a bit of personality — think spooky-but-sweet characters, Halloween makes, odd little creatures and handmade gifts with humour.
These kinds of patterns are especially good for seasonal crafting. Halloween crochet tends to do well for gifts, markets and Pinterest because the projects are playful and visually fun.
Best for: Halloween crochet, quirky amigurumi, gift makers
Why I’d grab it: cute creepy patterns are perfect for crocheters who like something different from the usual bears and bunnies.
Adorable Houseplants To Crochet
This might be one of the most giftable books in the sale. Crochet houseplants are perfect for people who love greenery but cannot keep a plant alive, which is a much larger group than any of us care to admit.
Crocheted plants are also great for office desks, shelves, windowsills, craft rooms and housewarming gifts. No watering, no wilting, no mystery brown leaves.
Pair this with a beginner hook set or a few green yarn shades from Amazon or Mary Maxim and you have a lovely gift bundle for a plant-loving crocheter.
Best for: plant lovers, home décor crochet, low-maintenance gifts
Why I’d grab it: crochet plants are cheerful, practical and very giftable.
Great Grannies
Granny square books are classics for a reason. A good granny book gives you colour inspiration, fresh block ideas and plenty of ways to make older crochet techniques feel current again.
This one looks like a fun pick for anyone who loves granny square garments, blankets, bags or modern retro crochet. Granny squares are also perfect for using yarn leftovers, which makes the book feel extra practical.
Best for: colourful crochet, retro crochet, stash-busting
Why I’d grab it: granny projects are timeless and easy to personalise.
60 Crocheted Snowflakes
Now this is a smart sale buy. Crochet snowflakes are one of those Christmas craft projects you can make all year and tuck away until December.
They are beautiful as ornaments, gift toppers, garlands, table decorations, card embellishments and handmade holiday gifts. A book with 60 designs gives you plenty of variety, so you are not making the same snowflake over and over until you never want to see white yarn again.
If you are planning Christmas content or holiday handmade gifts, this one is worth grabbing early.
Best for: Christmas crochet, ornaments, handmade holiday décor
Why I’d grab it: snowflake books come back into use every single year.
Summer Crochet
A crochet book focused on summer makes is lovely if you want lighter, wearable projects. Summer crochet often includes tops, bags, wraps, accessories and airy stitches that feel less heavy than winter blankets and scarves.
This would be a good choice for crocheters who want to make warm-weather items or handmade pieces for holidays, beach bags, market totes and lightweight layering.
Best for: warm-weather crochet, accessories, wearable makes
Why I’d grab it: summer crochet gives you something to make when blanket season feels too hot to even think about.
Crocheting The National Parks
This is such a clever theme for a crochet book. National park-inspired crochet has that lovely mix of nature, travel, colour and creativity.
Books like this are great for crocheters who want projects with a story behind them. They also make nice gifts for outdoor lovers, travellers, campers and anyone who enjoys nature-inspired craft.
Best for: nature lovers, travel-inspired crochet, gift books
Why I’d grab it: it feels fresh, unusual and very giftable.
Villains Amigurumi
Villain-themed amigurumi is a fun twist on character crochet. Cute animals are lovely, but sometimes you want something a little cheekier sitting on your shelf.
This would suit crocheters who enjoy pop culture, fantasy, spooky makes or character work. It is also a fun gift idea for someone who likes quirky crochet rather than sweet and traditional projects.
Best for: character crochet, quirky gifts, amigurumi collectors
Why I’d grab it: it is different, fun and likely to get attention.
Amigurumi Treasures
This looks like a sweet, classic amigurumi book filled with charming little characters. Amigurumi books are always good sale buys because small toy patterns can be made again and again in different yarn colours.
They are especially useful for baby gifts, nursery décor, craft markets, charity makes and handmade presents for children. Just remember to use safe finishing methods if your crochet toys are intended for little ones.
Best for: toy makers, baby gifts, handmade presents
Why I’d grab it: amigurumi books are useful all year round.
Micro-Mini Animals To Crochet
Micro crochet is not for everyone, but if you love tiny detail work, this book looks adorable. Micro-mini animals are the kind of projects that make people say, “You made that?” in a very satisfying way.
These patterns are ideal for jewellery, brooches, charms, dollhouse accessories and tiny keepsakes. They do require patience, good lighting and possibly a quiet room where nobody asks what is for dinner halfway through a round.
Best for: patient crocheters, tiny projects, detail work
Why I’d grab it: micro crochet is impressive and wonderfully giftable when done well.
Unicorns, Dragons And More Fantasy Amigurumi
Fantasy amigurumi is always popular, especially for gifts. Unicorns, dragons and magical creatures have that lovely broad appeal for children, teens and adults who never quite grew out of wanting a dragon. Which, frankly, is understandable.
This book would be a good choice if you enjoy colourful projects and playful shaping. It is also a strong pick for birthday gifts, nursery decorations and craft fair items.
Best for: fantasy lovers, children’s gifts, colourful amigurumi
Why I’d grab it: unicorns and dragons are always a crowd-pleaser.
Crocheted Squares
A crochet square book is one of the most practical books you can buy. Squares can become blankets, cushion covers, bags, scarves, throws, wall hangings and stash-busting sampler projects.
This is a good sale pick for crocheters who like variety without having to learn a whole new project every time. Make a stack of squares, join them later, and suddenly you look very organised. Even if the yarn basket says otherwise.
Best for: blanket makers, modular crochet, stash projects
Why I’d grab it: crochet squares are useful, flexible and beginner-friendly.
Zoomigurumi
The Zoomigurumi books have a strong following among amigurumi fans, and it is easy to see why. They usually feature a collection of cute animal designs from different designers, which gives you a nice variety of styles in one book.
This one would be a great pick if you love crochet toys and want patterns that feel collectible and fun. Amigurumi books also make lovely gifts because they are so easy to pair with yarn and safety eyes.
Best for: amigurumi collectors, animal crochet, gift makers
Why I’d grab it: Zoomigurumi-style books are packed with cute, repeatable projects.
Quick And Easy Crochet
A quick and easy crochet book is always a sensible buy, especially if you make gifts. These are the books you reach for when you need something handmade but do not have the emotional capacity for a 200-row shawl.
Look for projects like scarves, hats, cowls, bags, home accessories and small gifts. Beginner-friendly books are also great to keep on hand for anyone wanting to learn.
For more simple projects, CraftBits has plenty of free crochet patterns that pair nicely with beginner crochet books.
Best for: beginners, quick gifts, weekend projects
Why I’d grab it: fast crochet patterns are the ones you actually use.
Easy Crochet For Kids
This is a lovely one if you have children or grandchildren who want to learn crochet. Kids need clear instructions, colourful projects and quick wins. Give them something too fiddly at the start and you may lose them before the first row is done.
A children’s crochet book also makes a sweet gift when paired with a chunky hook and bright yarn. It is a lovely way to pass on a craft skill without overwhelming them.
Best for: kids, grandkids, family crafting
Why I’d grab it: it turns crochet into a shared activity.
Not Your Granny’s Squares
Any crochet book that puts a modern spin on granny squares has my attention. Traditional granny squares are wonderful, but it is always fun to see them used in fresh ways.
This sort of book is great for crocheters who love the portability of squares but want projects that feel updated — bags, garments, accessories, cushions and modern colour combinations.
Best for: modern granny square fans, colourful crochet, stylish projects
Why I’d grab it: it keeps a classic technique feeling fresh.
Stitch Camp
This looks like a great skill-building crochet book, especially for anyone wanting to get more confident with stitches, techniques and project planning.
Books like this are useful because they do not just give you patterns; they help you understand crochet better. That makes them a smart buy for beginners and improving crocheters who want to move beyond repeating the same scarf pattern forever.
Best for: beginners, skill-building, crochet confidence
Why I’d grab it: technique books are the ones that keep helping long after the first project.
Which Crochet Book Would I Buy First?
If I were choosing from this sale pile, my first picks would be:
Adorable Houseplants To Crochet for giftable home décor
60 Crocheted Snowflakes for Christmas crafting
Unicorns, Dragons And More Fantasy Amigurumi for fun handmade gifts
Quick And Easy Crochet for practical projects
Crocheted Squares or Granny’s Little Blocks for long-term stash-busting value
For pure fun, I would also be very tempted by Cute ’N Creepy Crochet. There is always room in the craft room for one slightly weird little creature.
Why These Crochet Books Are Worth Grabbing While They’re On Sale
Crochet books are one of the easiest craft bargains to justify because you can use them again and again. A single book can give you gifts, Christmas ornaments, stash-busting projects, beginner practice pieces, craft fair ideas and new techniques.
They also make excellent presents for crocheters. Add a book to a basket with a hook set, yarn, stitch markers and a yarn needle, and you have a thoughtful gift that feels personal without being difficult to put together.

If one of these books is already on your wishlist, now is the time to check the price. Crochet book deals can disappear quickly, and there is nothing more annoying than going back later and finding the book has jumped up again.
Although, let’s be honest, we will probably still buy it if we really want it.
