Summertime Crochet

A book of projects to tackle before summer comes again. Included are beach bags, blankets, head gear and even sandals. All projects fit the theme and seemed within a beginner's grasp. The headbands especially seemed like something that could be whipped up quickly before a beach day. Very fun and accessible patterns!

Some really cute summer crochet designs! I will definitely enjoy trying some of them out for next spring and summer! Thank you!

Summertime Crochet had a lot of great patterns that I look forward to trying soon. I'd like to have some made before the weather warms back up. Well written.

I was able to read Summertime Crochet for free from Netgalley, the publisher and the author for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I am very impressed with the many summer patterns available in this book.
I specially like that the book has the beginner's explanation on the back and the diagrams.
My favorite patterns that am going to make are the summer style colorful mini scarf and the mini bandana.

Each winter season that has passed I have been searching for just this book ! I was extremely impressed with all the diverse range of patterns for summer ! I fell in love with the tri of hat patterns and can already imagine the colors I'm going to use. From beach bags to a sexy summer top , to a beautiful evening wrap there is literally something for everyone .These patterns are definitely not limited to just summer either, any season is a great time to make up and use many of these fun patterns.

A delightful collection of crochet patterns for summertime use, this book is well planned and exceptionally photographed. There are bikinis, wraps, shawls, headgear and all things summery to crochet. The patterns are clear and easy to follow. The young ladies who created this book were in Germany at the time so the yarns they purchased were from German vendors but you can easily substitute yarns available in your area. Just looking through this fabulous collection will make you yearn for the warmer beaches. you will also be inspired to start your summer crochet wardrobe right now!!!!

The photography in the book is absolutely gorgeous. That alone will make you want to pick up a crochet hook and get started. The projects are well explained - but with one or two exceptions - not my personal taste.

About what you would expect from a typical instructional crochet book. It has everything you needs to create each project with vivid images, clear instructions, and information relevant to the pattern such as skill level and materials needs.

Most of the crochet seems to be geared towards a younger crowd, and for someone who has sensitive skin, some these items would feel awful against my skin. That being said, there is a wide variety project, so there is something for everyone regardless of taste or skill level. A good addition to the library of someone looking to add to their collection and need more than the stereotypical winter wear.

Wow, the patterns included in this book are amazing! Beach bags and beach throws. I don’t know if I would dare with a bikini top but it all looks amazing.

I received an Advanced Reader Copy from NetGalley for my unbiased opinion of the book. I really enjoyed this book. There were quite of few on the basic skill level that looks challenging but is very easy and is higher skilled projects also available. The tutorial for stitches in the back of the book was helpful along with the crochet key. I was able to successfully make Cozy Stoll For Windy Days, Maritime Beach Throw and Handy Totes, I look forward to making several more projects this book offers!!

I would recommend this for purchase in our collection. I lead a stitch group that meets twice a month throughout the year. During the summer, it would be great to have this book out for those interested in making something lighter or for the beach. It would also be great to recommend for those looking to make gifts for graduates.

I thought that the colors of yarn used and the designs of the patterns were attractive and matched the beach/summer vibe well.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion. I love the versatility of this book! The patterns are fun, light and perfect for summer wear or use! There are patterns for vests, shirts, bags, wraps, ponchos, hats, and even shoes!

The patterns are well written and easy to follow. I especially love the bags with the filet crochet patterns. The yarns used are primarily cotton or linen, which is ideal for summer use. The awesome variety of patterns is what will keep this on my reference shelf for fun summer projects.

My only critique of the book is that the patterns for shirt and vest sizes accommodate up to a size large only. I wish there were sizes a bit larger. Overall, though, this is a great book full of fun patterns.

I enjoyed this new entry on the crochet shelf. There are diverse patterns included for everything from garments to accessories and footwear. Each pattern has a clear image, written instructions and materials list, and notes the skill level required for the project. Several patterns note the pattern chart and diagram for finishing can be referenced in the rear of the book. While many projects are geared toward a teen or twenty-something crowd (crochet bikini tops), I found several I would make. The White Waves Airy Chevron Shirt is one of my favorites and a must make.

A treasure trove of fun and summery crochet projects with a good range of difficulty sure to please seasoned crocheters as well as newcomers.

I often hear both knitters and crocheters talk about how there's little to make during the summer because everything feels "too heavy" or "too warm". This collection of crocheting projects is perfect not only for summertime use, but also for summertime crocheting.

All of the patterns call either for cotton or cotton blend material, so the yarn will have some give after use. The book has patterns for all levels of crocheting, and includes patterns for bags, bikini tops, summer styled hats, and a few other awesome projects. And the colors the designers chose are all bright and eye catching, which makes the book visually appealing as well.

Great book with projects for summer. Easy to understand and use.

Full of fashionable little projects suitable for any level of crochet. Warm Triangular Shawl with Pizzazz is on my list already!

Nice ideas to create summer accessories by applying colorful crochet. This book can be used by beginners or advanced users. The authors added an annex of beginner tutorials that are easy to follow specially when you're preparing your first crochet.

Who doesn’t love a little breezy summer accessory? When I saw this book I just knew that I wanted to check out what it had to offer because of the summer options that I love to work on in the summer. My daughters get out our crochet hooks, look through and pick a pattern, and go for it. Great fun! From bags to hair pretties to clothes… it’s all included.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

A fun book for crocheting something fun for summertime. The easy to follow patterns & photos are great.
