Readers will be instantly in awe of the uniqueness of this title by Green-Hite. The artist/designer/creator behind Yarn Punk, has a vibrant and playful style that doesn’t rely on the ordinary shapes of flowers and animals. Instead, crafters are greeted by creations such as igloos, rockets, thermostats, surfboards, and more. The book is full of detailed, clear photographs, so creators don’t have to worry about going awry. Some of the patterns require more advanced techniques, but many are accessible for beginners. The strongest part of the book by far is Green-Hite’s personal narrative, the relationship between crochet and mental health, and the foundation of Yarn Punk.
VERDICT Green-Hite’s book is full of simple yet extraordinary patterns that would be a fun addition to any library collection.
