"There is a huge variety in styles and skill levels, making it
useful for the newbie to the most experienced crocheter. The
designs are beautiful and range from traditional to trendy. Tracey
certainly has her finger on the pulse of what is current in
crochet." --Jessie at Home
"As well as individual patterns for each of the 365 motifs, there
is a very detailed how-to section in the front of the book with
illustrated instructions for a number of different crochet
stitches." --Wendy Knits
"There are enough variations in this book that you could make a
different square each day for a year, and have a big pile of
squares at the end. Just think of the patchwork afghans you could
create! Or, you could choose one or two or three squares, and just
keep repeating them, in the same colors, or in different colors,
and you would have another afghan. Or you could make lots of other
things--patchwork sweaters, totes, pillows, rugs, scarves, etc.,
etc., etc." --Not Your Granny's Crochet
"Not only are there 365 granny squares with complete instructions,
but also included are twenty-five pages with a wealth of basic
crochet knowledge clearly and beautifully illustrated. Whether you
enjoy crocheting a square in the evening for relaxation or plan to
create a future heirloom, there is something for everyone! The
photos for each square are bright and bold; some larger than
others. A lot of effort went into naming each square; they are
clever and unique." --Crochet Queen
