Crochet motifs are wonderful for so many crochet projects. When I picked up this Beyond The Square Crochet Motifs, I was like a kid in a candy store. As soon as I saw “144 circles, hexagons, triangles, squares, and other unexpected shapes” on the cover, I was hooked. The entire book is categorized by the shapes which makes this book user friendly when searching for specific patterns. I paged through the book looking at the detailed pictures and helpful charts for each motif and imagining all of the crochet projects that could use these motifs.
Seriously though – I might have trouble giving this book away. I want to keep it for myself! There are so many motifs I want to try…the winner of this book will be very lucky! I’ll have to go purchase my own at some point…
I am amazed at the simplicity of this book and the sheer genius of the spiral notebook design – the book stays open better this way for easy crocheting. Each page has a different motif with an image, a chart, special stitch instructions, and a written pattern. It doesn’t get any easier than this folks.
Speaking of easy, the introduction to this book is great for beginners who are just venturing into the world of crocheting. There is a whole Crochet Vocabulary section that explains everything you need to know before you begin to read patterns. That means there are no surprises when you pick up your hook to start a pattern and you can always go back and look at the vocabulary section. Complete with photo tutorials for basic stitches and reading charts, this book is a wonderful resource for crocheters of all skill levels.
So, don’t wait any longer – enter to win this giveaway today! This is one amazing book that can open up so many doors for crocheters who are used to using the same motifs over and over. Spring will be here soon – so start crocheting something fresh and exciting with this book!
Which type of motif are you eager to try?

I would have a hard time choosing which motif to work first!! I’m sooo glad to see this time of yarn work not just making a comeback, but actually is TRENDING in a fierce way! I just plain love it.

It’s like a crochet cookbook that you can curl up on the couch and drool over with some hot cocoa.
Being relatively new to crocheting, I would love to venture into motifs. I don’t know the names of them, but the one in the lower left corner that is a half circle. It makes me think of peacocks.

I just bought the book Around the Corner Crochet Borders. It has a lot of beautiful borders. I would love to get the crochet motif book, if it is anything like the other book, it will have such lovely motifs. I have been wanting to try something different. I think i may have a hard deciding which one I want to try first.
I’m doing a lapghan with all different pink squares. I’d love to do one with hexagons and then circles after that.
I’ve never made motifs. …love to learn. Thanks for the great giveaway!

I would love to try the bottom square that looks like a tree in full bloom, it has orange, gray (Ithink) and then yellow
Wow. I’m going to be like a kid in a candy store so hard to choose. But a star shape has always been attractive to me. I want to make a table runner for my Mom’s dresser she would love it! The choices are endless!
I would like to make a variety of them and then link them together into a shawl.
I think a fancy half-circle would have such potential! I’d love to learn how to make them.
I would like to try all of them and see if I could make a blanket thats different with all kinds of shapes in it.
I would love to learn how to do flowers.
boy am i bad at granny squares! somehow I just can’t ever get them to look right. Maybe this book would help.
I’ve never tried motifs, but this book would be like “a kid in a candy store”. It would be hard to pick, but I think the hexigons sound very interesting.
Always looking for new ideas.
All of them. I have yet to try squares but the hex seems to be my favorite!
What a great book to reference forever!
I’d like to try them all.
hi, I tried to enter the competition. It rejected my entry because I left the state field blank. All your options are in the US and I am not. If people outside the US are not allowed to enter, it would be good if you could make that known before we do all the posting on facebook etc. Thanks.
all of them,
If I had this book I would try them all.
The triangle looks intriguing!
I would love to win this book. I saw a lot of designs that I have not tried before. What I could see I know I would use them on things that I make now. Thanks for the chance.
This book sounds awesome…so many things to try – hard to choose just one. I can see lots of possibilities though! Thank you for the chance to win!
Great book to learn how to make them all!!
I love crocheting and I love seeing all different motifs so I want to try them all.
I would love to try all of them, but the triangle motif looks interesting. I have never done a triangular motif or afghan.
Circles! Triangles! Stars! Oh, my!
I like the non-square grannies best.
I would like to try all the different patterns in this book.
I love pineapple designs and also filet crochet. Granny squares are what I taught my kids to make when they were bored one summer. One of them still crochets because of this!
Any motif that is different from the traditional granny square.
I want to learn crochet but I don’t like granny squares.
