Purchase options and add-ons

Create one-of-a-kind striped modular blankets with this unique mix-and-match approach.

Featuring 100 crochet strip patterns for modern striped blankets, this book opens up a world of design possibilities for crochet blankets, as you how you choose to combine the strips is completely up to you!

Making modular blankets is not a new concept, but most books tend to focus on granny squares to do this. By crocheting individual strips instead, you can achieve a much more modern look, with pattern, colour and texture variations tailored to suit your individual style. Working in this modular way makes crocheting blankets achievable, portable and fun, as each strip is worked along the short edge, making long starting chains a thing of the past!

Each strip pattern is given in US crochet terms, with written pattern and chart for making a standard throw-blanket-width strip (40in/100cm across). Advice is given on adjusting the width of the strips for smaller or larger blankets.

With chapters including Classic Stitches, Tapestry Crochet, Mosaic Crochet, Texture, Cables and Ribs, and Embellishments, this collection offers almost infinite possibilities to create unique striped blankets that are fun to work on as well as beautiful when finished.

As well as the 100 strip patterns, there are 5 example blankets showing different combinations of strips, plus additional ideas for using the strips in other ways, such as scarves, bags and homewares.

Dreamland

The city at night is the inspiration for this blanket. A neon glow fizzes in the air. Billboards flash bright colours, reflected in glass buildings.

Hi!

I'm Esme, the crochet designer behind Red Sparrow Crochet. I love geometry and colour, and my modern, bold approach to crochet makes my designs instantly recognisable. Since I discovered the technique of mosaic crochet about 3 years ago, my work has found its spiritual home, and I try to represent the natural world around me in geometric forms. My recent designs have been inspired by trees, insects, birds, the sky...it all makes me feel at one with the world. Crocheting has the same effect, so whether under the trees or with a hook in my hand, I’m in my element.

My designs have featured in of the UK's biggest crochet and craft magazines for many years, and I am privileged to work closely with the Dutch yarn company Scheepjes as a designer and text editor. I run a successful Etsy shop where I showcase many of my patterns. 'Mosaic Crochet Workshop' is my first book and I am extremely proud to have written it.

When I am not working, I am usually found in the kitchen, cooking huge vegetarian feasts for my family as we're all real foodies. I live in the beautiful county of Suffolk, England, with my partner, our 2 children and our very grumpy cat, Hank Deluxe.

I recently started crocheting again (I’d say I’m an advanced beginner) and found Esme’s Instagram. I immediately fell in love with her style, found this book, and immediately preordered it. I have been working on the Dreamland blanket, and this is absolutely the BEST way to start learning patterns and making a blanket. Crocheting an entire blanket seemed overwhelming, but doing so strip by strip with different patterns feels like I am unlocking different levels, and keeps my distractible mind engaged. I thought reading patterns from a book would be hard, but in fact her instructions are quite easy to follow. The colors that Esme uses are gorgeous and not ones I would think to put together myself, but I am flat out obsessed. I wish I could crochet faster so I could make ALL of these before Christmas! If you’re on the fence, GET THIS BOOK. You will not regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Happy I purchased paperback book
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2024

Overal happy with purchase and love the format of colorful paged book ,I am glad I decided to go with the paperback instead of digital copy of book. That said I was a little disappointed as book wasn't quite what I expected it was going to be. I assumed it would have more of the panels mix / matched to choose from like in the cover, However it does provide you information to make the panels through the amount to start beginning chain and instruction given for each of the stitches, allows me to use the book as intended. It is helpful to have all the information and pic-turials to page through rather than searching for hours online for each pattern.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical inspiration for creative crocheters!
Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2023

This book will get your creative juices flowing! And by working in strips, you won't feel overwhelmed at getting started. You probably won't even have to buy any yarn to get started since the author shows how to use your stash to create a cohesive color scheme. Whether you need constant projects to keep your hands busy, gift ideas for the holidays, or ideas to decorate your home, you will find this book very useful. Advanced crocheters will like it for the creative inspiration and variety of stitch options, and beginners will appreciate the clear instructions and manageable projects. Everyone will like the gorgeous photos, chart explanations, and easy-to-follow instructions. Highly recommended!

Edited to add that I have the Kindle version and read it via the Kindle app on my tablet, in case you're wondering about the practicality of a digital version. I prefer digital to print for crafting because it sits flat on the arm of my couch or table while I'm working.

I super loved this book.
When I was book shopping this one caught my eye because of the really interesting colour combinations she uses in her projects. For me that was the real value of the book.

If you’re looking for instructional materials, it’s got that too with really great images. There’s a focus on very specific techniques that are featured throughout the artist’s work, so if you like the cover you’ll probably like the book.

Personally, I totally rearranged my stash and started pushing myself to look at colour in a different way. I think that’s pretty cool.
