Book Review – Quick Thread Projects

The cover of this Crochet book, promised a collection of modern and trendy accessories that I knew I couldn’t wait to try out.

Upon opening the book, I was pleased to find a wide range of projects to choose from – fancy hanger covers, dish towel trims, oven mitts, and more. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, with helpful illustrations to guide me along the way.

Although I haven’t had the chance to tackle any of these projects yet, I can already tell that they will be quick and enjoyable to work on. Thread crochet can sometimes be a bit time-consuming, but these designs seem perfectly suited for a beginner or a seasoned crocheter looking to add some quick and colorful flair to their collection.

In short, the Leisure Arts Quick Thread Projects Crochet Book is a must-have for any crocheter looking to add some modern and trendy accessories to their repertoire. The patterns are enjoyable and easy to follow, and the end results are sure to be stunning. I can’t wait to start on my own projects from this book in the future.

One particular trend that I’ve noticed in recent years is the popularity of crochet coat hangers.

I first became aware of these beautiful and functional creations when a friend of mine gifted me a crochet coat hanger for my wedding dress. It was a thoughtful and unique present, and I was immediately struck by the attention to detail and the craftsmanship that had gone into the piece.

As I started using the hanger, I was pleased to find that it not only added a touch of whimsy and beauty to my closet, but it was also extremely functional. The crochet material was sturdy and able to hold the weight of my dress without any issues, and the intricate design added a touch of elegance to the overall look.

Since receiving that first crochet coat hanger as a gift, I’ve noticed them popping up more and more in stores and online. It seems that people are increasingly drawn to the idea of adding a handmade and personal touch to their home decor, and crochet coat hangers offer a unique and stylish way to do so.

If you’re a sucker for anything with a little texture and a bit of old-school sweetness, the Everly crochet baby blanket is going to be right up your alley. This pattern is described as being inspired by a “field of blooming roses,” and honestly… that’s exactly the vibe. Those rosette motifs give it that pretty, dimensional look that instantly makes a blanket feel special, even before it’s finished.

What I like about a motif-based baby blanket like this is the built-in “wow factor.” You’re not just making rows and rows of the same stitch (which can be soothing… until you’re 900 stitches in and questioning your life choices). With the rosettes, you get that satisfying sense of progress — each motif feels like a little finished moment, and then suddenly you’ve got a blanket coming together.

The finished size is a really lovely, practical baby blanket size too: approximately 36” wide x 44” long. Big enough for pram naps, floor play, tummy time, and all those cozy cuddles — without turning into a never-ending, queen-size commitment.

This is also one of those patterns that makes a gorgeous gift. It’s sweet and nursery-friendly, but it doesn’t feel overly cutesy. It has that timeless, handmade look that people tend to keep — the kind of blanket that ends up being “the” blanket in family photos for years.

If you enjoy crochet that has texture, charm, and that slightly vintage-meets-whimsical feel, Everly is the kind of blanket pattern that’s genuinely fun to make and even nicer to gift.
