Crochet motifs are wonderful for so many crochet projects. When I picked up this Beyond The Square Crochet Motifs, I was like a kid in a candy store. As soon as I saw “144 circles, hexagons, triangles, squares, and other unexpected shapes” on the cover, I was hooked. The entire book is categorized by the shapes which makes this book user friendly when searching for specific patterns. I paged through the book looking at the detailed pictures and helpful charts for each motif and imagining all of the crochet projects that could use these motifs.
Seriously though – I might have trouble giving this book away. I want to keep it for myself! There are so many motifs I want to try…the winner of this book will be very lucky! I’ll have to go purchase my own at some point…
I am amazed at the simplicity of this book and the sheer genius of the spiral notebook design - the book stays open better this way for easy crocheting. Each page has a different motif with an image, a chart, special stitch instructions, and a written pattern. It doesn’t get any easier than this folks.
Speaking of easy, the introduction to this book is great for beginners who are just venturing into the world of crocheting. There is a whole Crochet Vocabulary section that explains everything you need to know before you begin to read patterns. That means there are no surprises when you pick up your hook to start a pattern and you can always go back and look at the vocabulary section. Complete with photo tutorials for basic stitches and reading charts, this book is a wonderful resource for crocheters of all skill levels.
So, don’t wait any longer – enter to win this giveaway today! This is one amazing book that can open up so many doors for crocheters who are used to using the same motifs over and over. Spring will be here soon – so start crocheting something fresh and exciting with this book!

It’s like a crochet cookbook that you can curl up on the couch and drool over with some hot cocoa.
Being relatively new to crocheting, I would love to venture into motifs. I don’t know the names of them, but the one in the lower left corner that is a half circle. It makes me think of peacocks.

hi, I tried to enter the competition. It rejected my entry because I left the state field blank. All your options are in the US and I am not. If people outside the US are not allowed to enter, it would be good if you could make that known before we do all the posting on facebook etc. Thanks.
all of them,
If I had this book I would try them all.
The triangle looks intriguing!
I would love to win this book. I saw a lot of designs that I have not tried before. What I could see I know I would use them on things that I make now. Thanks for the chance.
