Quick Crochet Home Decor – Book Review

by

As someone who loves to add handmade touches to my home decor, I was immediately drawn to the Leisure Arts Quick Crochet Home Decor Book .

I was pleasantly surprised to find a wide range of projects to choose from – from covers for potted plants and afghans to baskets and floor pillows. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, with illustrated stitch guides to help 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. With a variety of yarn sizes and hook sizes to choose from, I know I’ll be able to find the perfect project to fit my home decor style and needs.

One of my favorite memories of crocheting home decor was when I made a set of four crochet cushions as a gift for my mother-in-law. She had recently redecorated her living room and was in need of some new cushions, and I knew these crochet ones would be the perfect fit. The easy skill level patterns were a breeze to work through, and the end result was a beautiful and cozy set of cushions that my mother-in-law absolutely loved.

Overall, the Leisure Arts Quick Crochet Home Decor Book is a must-have for any crocheter looking to add some unique and stylish accents to their home.  So, even though I have not made any of the patterns from this book YET, it will definitely be added to my ebook collection. If you are a beginner or a seasoned crocheter, this book is a must-have in your crochet library.

Everly Crochet Baby Blanket Pattern Review – Rosette Motifs and Sweet Vintage Style

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.
