Very fun projects ranging for practical to whimsical with thorough explanations. Because of the variety of the types of projects there will probably be something for everyone, but it's also likely that one person would need to do all the projects in the book.

Adorable projects to crochet!!! Some of these projects were formally published online through the author's website and Ravelry. Honestly, none of these projects were must haves for me. There was a mix of hats and scarves with child play items.

The unique part of the book was the inclusion of finger crochet! The unique technique was buried within the patterns and didn't make this book feel like a must have for reference.

I was really excited for this ARC since I love to crochet, however, I feel like this book fell short. First off, it is extremely short, there are only twelve patterns. It does indicate this so I didn't take any stars off for it, but it just felt shorter than I expected, even knowing that it was already a very short book. The patterns themselves are not what I would choose to make. The amigurumi ones are cute, but the directions are kind of confusing, which could be the kindle format, to a degree. It would have been nice to see pictures along the way, and not just the finished project. The first 20-30% of the book reviews basic crochet stitches that are used. Overall, it was okay, but not one that I would grab if I wanted to start a new crochet project.

As a seasoned crocheter, this book was a little basic for me. But it would be the perfect starter book for beginner crocheters. The book begins with a few pages of how to crochet. The author describes and shows pictures of some of the basic stitches and explains yarn weight, which will be very helpful for those learning to crochet. The projects are fun and fairly simple. My very first crochet project was a piece of crocheted toast, so the crocheted hamburger and hot dog were right up my alley. I especially loved the way the author crocheted the hot dog condiments. Super clever!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for sending me an advanced copy in return for my honest review.

Cute little book with lots of fun easy projects to add to the wardrobe and house. There is a hamburger with the lot to crochet as well as colorful beanies, a lovely owl shawl hat, sliced watermelon, stove top and the cutest bee hive with bees mobile and more .All can be made in short periods of with basic crochet knowledge

This book has very fun and creative patterns.

I am a beginner, so my experience whilst reading this book reflects on this completely. Some of the terminology did confuse me, however I am hoping to still attempt some of the patterns.

I am giving this book 4 stars because of the creative patterns. It is exciting and very colourful. Hopefully, when I become more experienced at crocheting, I will attempt the more complexed patterns.

Thank you for providing me with this e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

This book is perfect for anyone who loves crocheting fun projects! It has a variety of creative, fun projects. There are great photos to accompany the patterns. This book helped spark my creativity and get started on some fun projects. It includes important information to help beginners. I would recommend this book to my friends who are looking for some new project inspiration.

Creative Crochet Projects by Stephanie Pokorny is a fun, beginner book all about crochet.

I thought the introduction and explanation at the beginning was perfect and clear for beginners.

The projects were the fun bit. I think the owl hoodie is the coolest item and the first thing I will be making. I preferred the clothing items in this book over the toys. However, I am thinking the toys could be fun for the right reader/crocheter. I think a younger audience or an adult with children would prefer it best.

I would have liked to have seen a few more patterns, but overall this book was great and perfect for someone learning to crochet, especially a younger child or person as I think they would find the ideas fun and colourful.

I received an eARC from Fox Chapel Publishing through NetGalley. All opinions are 100% my own.

This book does an excellent job at providing exactly what the title implies: creative crochet projects. Personally, I like practical crochet projects, and there are a few in this book, such as the scarves and hats. My favorite practical project would be the "braided beauty scarf", which is made using your fingers and not any type of hooks. I think where this book really delivers is in the unique and whimsical items. My personal favorite has to be the "foldable hamburger", but there is also a "foldable hotdog" as well as a "roll-away kitchen playmat". Seeing the stitches of crochet being used in the context of children's toys can't help but bring joy to the child inside us all. Aside from the one-of-a-kind projects, this book also offers a very good introduction to crochet in general, and begins with the easier projects, which in my mind is a very smart design move. I highly recommend checking it out!

I haven't tried the projects yet, but I am excited to try some of them.

There are twelve projects, of varying difficulty. Directions are easy to follow. Some patterns are ones I've never seen elsewhere. Some options are hats, scarves, and food. I appreciated the detailed descriptions and the images. Abbreviations are also explained.

This would be good for beginner to intermediate crocheters.

For me this was well illustrated and nice book. Short. Few projects that are super cute and couple of the projects that were just not too interesting for me.
Overall good instruction book but not very memorable.

There were some really fun colourful projects in this book. A lot of whimsical looking items, this book would be great for a tween or lighthearted teen or adult. Easy to follow instructions, a great guide.

I haven't made any of the projects yet, but they are easy to follow and very straight forward. There are 12 projects and each one gets harder than the last. I like this because you know that based on it's location in the book you can kind of judge whether or not you will struggle based on your experience level. They are also unique. I have seen patterns for things like this before, for example, the hamburger. I have seen dozens of hamburger patterns, but this one attached all of the pieces together. It was such a great idea. Perfect for a toddler because none of the pieces would get lost. The book has everything from food to hats and scarves. I am looking forward to trying out the patterns and more patterns from this author.

A great guide for beginners through intermediate skilled. The patterns were well written, easy to follow and produced excellent results. They were really fun to make as well!!!!

Cute crochet book. Simple and easy projects. Great for all levels of crocheters.
The book is great with step by steps for the projects, which is great. The projects are perfect.
Thanks to NetGalley, Fox Chapel Publishing, and Landauer Publishing for giving me the opportunity to review this book.

This book has a vast array of crochet projects that range from easy to experienced and it is very simple to figure out. I love how the author shows the steps in such a way that the reader can follow along and see the step by step instructions while performing the actions to make a beautiful and colorful item. The book is separated by projects and gives the reader the option of creating items to wear or accessories to make. My favorite is the finger crochet scarf. I made several to give as gifts for the cold weather. I am no expert by any means but with this book, I have been able to learn more crochet terms as well as teach my niece how to crochet. It is so much fun when you can help others learn how to make gorgeous throws, hats, scarves, and blankets.

Thank you to netgalley as well as the author/publisher for allowing me to read this book in exchange for my honest review.

This is an excellent pattern book. There are descriptions, pictures and a detailed explanation of crochet terms. I was lucky enough to get a review copy from NetGalley, and I can't wait for pay day to buy my official copy.

Ever wished you could learn to crochet? Or, are you already an accomplished crocheter? Either way, this is a must-have book.

With 96 pages, of the highest quality photography with detailed instructions for each project, this is a craft book of the highest quality.

To ensure CREATIVE CROCHET PROJECTS will appeal to crocheters of every skill level, author Stephanie Pokorny has included instructions with full colour photographs for each crochet stitch.

It is obvious to me that a exceptional amount of thought went into the creation of this book.

The author even includes information as to how to read other crochet patterns and what each abbreviation that crocheters might run across stands for.

I have seen (and own) dozens of crochet pattern books, but have never seen one (until now) that appeals equally to crafters of all ages and degrees of proficiency.

The projects included in CREATIVE CROCHET PROJECTS include:

From a kitchen placemat that looks like a stovetop to a fully stacked hamburger for kid's play kitchens, each project is unique and beautiful.

The projects / patterns include:

- Finger Crochet Scarves
- It's a Chinch One-Hour Cowl
- Squiggles McGee Hat
- Bubble Hue Shift Hat
- Asymmetric Owl Wrap
- Happy Heart Bunting
- Foldable Burger
- Foldable Hot Dog

I rate CREATIVE CROCHET PROJECTS - 12 PLAYFUL PROJECTS FOR BEGINNERS AND BEYOND as 5+ OUT OF 5 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

*** Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with a free copy of this book. ***

This was a fun read but I feel like the patternes weren’t that detailed and explained how to do it but I liked all the pictures and figures a lot

This is a good book for beginners or children. The basics of crochet are easy to follow and the photo illustrations clear. The projects remind me of the 1970’s and are a bit old fashioned. That’s okay for a learner but I wouldn’t rush out to buy materials to make anything in the book. But I would recommend it for a complete beginner.
