This is a great crochet guide full of 15 different projects! I can't wait to jump in! The patterns are all adorable. This is one I'll return to again and again. Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advanced copy of the book.

What a wonderful book!! After following Lindsey Newns for a few years on Instagram I was absolutely delighted when I was approved to read this.

The pictures are absolutely gorgeous and the patterns are so easy to follow they are an absolute dream, I love all of the colours used and all the other beautiful stitches. It’s an absolute must have addition to any crafters bookshelf as it’s suitable for both beginners and advanced crocheters.

*a big big thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for providing me with a ARC copy in exchange for an honest review *

It is rare that I find a crochet book where I would actually want to make anything. This is the exception. There are a few patterns I will try. The instructions are very clear and for a reasonably experienced crocheter the patterns are easy to follow.

I learned how to crochet years ago and I have gotten better with each year I've been doing it. I saw this book and new that I had to review it. It has many cute crochet patterns to be able to do and some of them are easy. I wish there were just a little more patterns in the book but it's a good start. I'd get it for someone else who loves to crochet.

Divided into seasons with patterns for each. There are a few that are something I would never make, that are those crochet items that look vintage crochet that I don't care for. Then there are modern looking items like a Geo beanie and an interesting pillow. Especially nice is a rug/runner using up your "what in the world am I going to make with this Scrappy yarn"

A fun book on crochet both little and bigger projects for your home or as gifts. Some are perfect for the left over yarn that is always hard to use.. The instructions are well illustrated and some of the articles made such as hr, bathroom mat, hair tie, 3D baskets, woven and tapestry cushions - are little different from most crochet books. There are also a collection of different yarns such as raffia, hemp used and incorporating macrame cord in fruit placement mats. There are also some traditional items such as hats, scarves stockings.
A handy book to have and could be used to teach simple crochet

This book is a good one if you are familiar with crochet and need a few more patterns to get inspiration projects. There is a variety of skill levels and very useful household items. I was really happy to see more than just beanies or blankets here. Definitely will be making some of these projects in the future.

While this looked like a cute crochet book, I do think it’s important to note that it is in UK terminology, which is difficult if you’re used to US terminology just because they share some of the same stitch names (example: treble stitch) but are different. While the patterns looked adorable (the scrunchie one definitely caught my eye!), I know that many people (myself included) would find it difficult to relearn the terminology they’re used to.

This crochet pattern book offers a nice selection of patterns. The patterns range from home decor items to wearable garments and accessories. The writing is accessible and easy to follow. Patterns are geared towards beginning crochet crafters, though they offer plenty of challenge for more advanced crafters.

This will be a new go-to book when my friends want to me to teach them how to crochet. Simple yet beautiful projects that are well explained and detailed instructions with gorgeous pictures make this a perfect book for beginners and advanced crocheters alike. I think my fav was the Pom Pom duffel bag, but there are so many projects that I will for sure end up making for myself as well as for gifts. I like that there were detailed instructions for all the stitches as well as a breakdown of yarn weights so that if you don’t have the specific one, you can substitute and still get he desired effect.
Well done!
Thanks to Pen & Sword and Netgalley for this Arc in exchange for my review.

This is a great crochet book for beginner crocheters. Everything is explained really well, and the book goes through everything step-by-step. There are nice, big color photos of the finished projects. I found a few that I wouldn't mind making. I don't care for some of the bold colors, but that's easily remedied by choosing my own colors. That's one of the great things about crochet. Some of the patterns are a little bold for me, but I don't think you can please everyone all of the time.

If you are either a beginner to crochet or an expert this is the book for you. The instructions are clear , easy to understand and the illustrations are superb. There are a wide range of interesting projects which will make the crocheteer want to pick up their crochet hook and get started.

A fun book full of fresh new ideas for every season. The book provides instructions for making scrunchies and wallhangings, and incorporates chunky yarn into projects, which is always so much fun.

For advanced crocheters.
Newns is a UK author so U.S. crafters will need to be prepared to translate the measurements and find equivalent yarns since many of her brands won't be readily available here. Secondly, and far more importantly, it's assumed that you are pretty proficient and are ready to jump into more advanced techniques. I'm a visual learner so I found the instructions too wordy and the illustrations too sparse. Otherwise, for the crafter skilled at crochet, this books is filled with gorgeous projects and unique ideas.

Well I absolutely loved it. I'm a mere beginner at crochet so most of these projects, which are more intermediary, felt a little beyond my skill range, but they were still simple enough that anyone who puts in the effort can learn them, I'm sure. And the project ideas were so creative and useful- just one was purely for decorative purposes. The author does an excellent job of preparing you for the project, advising on what kind of yarn to use and providing a huge list of abbreviations for both UK and US terms. I appreciated the author's thoroughness and creative ideas for each project.

A really helpful book overall, I will be keeping it aside when my skills are up to scratch.

Some beautiful crochet makes to inspire. It is good to see more unusual ideas in the projects
presented (for example using cord to make placemats and the scrap rug). The projects have a seasonal theme and are very varied.
All the techniques are very well explained at the start of the book and the patterns are clearly presented.
I think this would enable a beginner to tackle the projects with confidence and would make a delightful present for a beginner or someone with previous crochet experience.
A delightful book!

I'm so pleased I have been introduced to Lindsey and this beautiful book. I am someone very new to crochet, currently not really straying out of my comfort zone and using the same one stitch to crochet scarves for family! I would say Modern Crochet Style is a great introduction to crochet and the different stitches but also perfect for those experienced in crochet as it includes some really nice and modern designs. I love the light, fresh photography throughout the book. The close-ups of the stitches are extremely helpful and I love the fact the book is divided into seasons with relevant designs for each season. I'm slightly daunted by some of the patterns/designs but with the instructions laid out clearly, I feel it's something achievable. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC, it's given me the inspiration to jump in and try new crochet projects!

It warms my heart to see younger people picking up some older hobbies and this book is a great example. The author shares a varied set of projects and provides good instructions. Though I don’t agree the book is for beginners too, as there aren’t pictures outlined different stitches and I can see them easily becoming frustrated.

This is a lovely book for beginners and more advanced crochet enthusiasts alike. It includes easy to follow patterns for home accessories like placemats, bags, cushion and wall hanging. It also includes patterns for a scarf, scrunchie and even an eye mask. One thing that struck me though was the title was I was intrigued by the title of "Modern" crochet style, but I found the style was still traditional - this wasn't an issue for me, as I love to crochet anyway.

Its okay, some of the projects are mostly weaving tbh.
I did see some new techniques and the photos are beautiful
