Guild of Master Craftsman Crocheted Succulents Book

I love to crochet and this book is great. I have made lots of succulents and cacti for friends of mine that don't have any kind of green thumb and can't grow their own. Great patterns. Easy to read and follow.

Easy to crochet. Plants you don't have to water. Make nice gifts.

I just got this book today, I ordered it the first day it was available and have been waiting for it to arrive. Worth my excitement. Can't wait to start making all these delightful cactuses and succulents. The instructions look easy to follow and the photos are beautiful. The cute personality of this author came through and her enthusiasm for these projects. I am almost done crocheting all the cactuses in another book I had purchased and am ready for the Succulents and all thee new ones here.

I am a novice crocheter and love this book of patterns to teach me new things.

I made the cactus with a yellow flower on page 28 and a crocheted pot from page 138 to put it in. Instructions are well written and easy to follow. The book contains actual size photos of the succulents so you can easily see what your plant will look like when completed. I appreciate the yarn suggestions for each project. Even if I cannot get exact brand or color it helps if I have to purchase a substitute.

All the succulent patterns are really cute, and I’m finding them easy to understand so far. I’ve only been crocheting 2 months now, so I’m not familiar with all the stitches, but I found the diagram easy to follow and didn’t need to go watch a video to see it done.

I am not a beginner but would not say Im a guru either. The author is from the UK so sometimes people not from the UK need to make sure there is no difference in stitches, or hooks size. Not every one is so experienced that they understand " four rounds straight" Or how it says to do 2 DC 2DCI 6 TIMES with 18 double crochets . Do we skip a stitch? What about the rest of the stitches left over untouched? Do we go to the next round? I did and it did not come out right. I have ordered a lot of crochet books and some of them explain exactly what the pattern is. The cactus with the bloom on it, it says make 18 rows and I did that and it came out too big so I looked at the picture and got rid of the extra rows and still don't understand where the 18 came from. Its like the author is skipping steps thinking all of us are going to know everything. My cactus with the bloom did come out good I had to do my own soil because I did not understand the pattern and even did net searches and watched videos. Also came across a few blogs about how it is hard to give instructions for crochet patterns and how a lot of people run into these issues. Im working on another one and will take pictures of all when I am done.

Comprei para presentear, simplesmente adorável! Surreal variedade de plantas, cactos e suculentas em crochê, com explicações (em inglês) para quem já manja de crochê. O livro tem boas fotos, papel de qualidade, capa simples.

Regalo para una crochetera. Quedó encantada. El libro no lleva patrones gráficos, son escritos. Los puntos vienen en inglés de UK y la conversion a inglés USA. Por ejemplo: punto bajo es en UK: double crochet y en USA: single crochet Además tiene explicaciones de como decorar los cactus, tejer la maceta y la tierra,el montaje final y como tejer los diferentes puntos. Muy satisfechos con la compra

Great product

As someone who can kill plants etc just by looking at them, this is ideal. Patterns are easy to follow, suitable for all levels of skill with instructions at the back, I've learnt how to do popcorn stitch making one of these. I've made two so far and working on a third. It is worth buying the Rico Bubble yarn, especially the iridescent white suggested for some of the spikes as it really sparkles. They look really good in white pots, but there is a section at the back to crochet pots too so they can be co-ordinated with your decor! Would highly recommend.

Impecable y de muy buen gusto su presentación y diseño de contenido. Es regalo para mí mamá y está encantada!!! Ya luego me dirá qué tal las instrucciones y subo foto de algunas de sus obras! El libro viene en inglés!
