Book Review -Classic Christmas Crochet

October 15, 2023 by Shellie Wilson

As a crochet enthusiast, I have been eagerly waiting for the delivery  of Classic Christmas Crochet. The moment I laid my eyes on the book, I knew it was going to be a game-changer for my holiday crochet projects. The book is filled with traditional and nostalgic Christmas designs that are perfect for decorating my tree, windowsills, wreaths, and centerpieces.

The designs in this book are created by the renowned Scandinavian knit designers, Heidi and Pia Johannesen, who have a keen eye for detail and a passion for traditional designs. The book features a wide range of projects that cater to crocheters of all skill levels, from beginners to seasoned crafters. I was particularly impressed by the full-color photographs that showcase the finished projects and provide inspiration for arranging and placing decorations both inside and outside the house.

The color palette used in the book is a perfect blend of red and green, black and white, with a touch of gold and glitter that brings the magic of Christmas to life. The patterns are easy to follow and are accompanied by detailed instructions and diagrams.

In conclusion, Classic Christmas Crochet is an essential guide for anyone looking to add a touch of nostalgia to their holiday crochet projects. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to create beautiful and timeless Christmas decorations.
