First- if you're looking for a book that will show you how to do the stitches, techniques, and all of that, well, this book doesn't do that. Instead, the authors refer the reader to the American Crochet Association on youtube, because, in their words, "Some crochet stitches and techniques are best learned with a video instead of written definitions and text alone." While I do agree with them, it would've been nice to also have the text and photo options in the book. Also, be aware that the projects are geared to a more experienced crocheter- of 42 projects, 12 are listed as easy, the rest intermediate. This isn't a bad thing, just letting you know what you're getting.
The projects are really cute, quick, and fun, totally usable (by which I mean, not useless crap), and very giftable. I really like the Nebula Pillow- so cute! Crocheted dishcloths are great to use, as are crocheted coasters- I still use the ones my mom made me years ago! So many sweet, cozy hats, and I love the poncho and fringe vest. A good book for any crocheter looking for some instant gratification projects!

This book is for more experience crocheters. Majority of the projects are intermediate level and a few easy. This book is just a book of patterns but no instructions. I would not recommend this book to someone just learning. Some of the patterns you can complete in one day other might take a bit longer. Unless you are spending the whole day crocheting and are quick with your needles then maybe you can do it in a day. The book has a nice Visual Index it makes it easier for you to know how to find what you are looking for. The patterns are not anything out of the ordinary. I would not buy this book but someone else might if they just like patterns.

Crochet In A day is full of great small crochet projects. I don’t crochet a ton however there are several items in here that seem like I could make them at a beginner level. There are also some unique designs in here, I particularly love the pennant flags! So cute and would be really versatile. This book would also make a great gift for a friend that likes to crochet, throw in a ball of yarn and you’d be set!

Crochet in a Day is a great pattern book with a lot of cute items to create. There are something for everyone in this book. But it's not a book to show you how to crochet, so you will need to know how to read a pattern before you get this book.
The designers in this book have wrote clear patterns that are easy to understand. And the items are cute. A couple of the designers, I've used their patterns before.
So if you are looking for cute items you can create in a day, this is the pattern book for that.

A nice assortment of projects, for the beginner as well as intermediate crocheters. Enough that someone should find something that they would be interested in attempting, I tried the Chroma Shawl and the Hexagon Potholder. Both had instructions that were easy to follow. Found in total about 9 projects that I would be interested in making. While there were some that I would never do, I find the same thing applies when looking at other crochet project books.

I've been wanting to give crocheting a try for awhile now so when I saw this book I knew I had to get it. "Crochet in a Day" is full of different crochet projects that you can finish in a single day. Everything from hats to placemats, blankets to baskets. With beautiful pictures of each project, and easy to follow instructions. I know I'm going to be crocheting up a storm in no time!

This is a good one! I like the pictures they clearly show what each project is. Instructions are clear and easy to read and follow.

A nice compilation of quick and somewhat simple projects for those of us who love to make things, but don't want to invest tons of time into a project. Many of the projects are similar to other things that are out and available elsewhere, but putting them together in one book of quick projects makes this an appealing read. I did not try any of the projects, but I did look at the patterns and they appear to be straightforward and easy to follow. I hope to try a few of them soon.

Great, quick patterns. What I really like is the use of affordable and accessible yarns. Ideal book for those who want to make simple and low cost homemade items.

Crochet in a Day is a great addition to my library. There are plenty of projects for different skill levels. I can’t wait to start.

Great projects. Great ideas. I am not up to the caliber of this book but it gives me a goal to reach.

This is a really neat book full of fun and less time consuming projects from beginner to more! I will definitely be getting this for my library!

Disclaimer: I was provided a digital copy of this book by NetGallery in exchange for a fair and honest review.

This volume is full of cute and quick projects. As a seasoned crocheter, I probably would not buy this book for myself because there were no truly unique ideas that really wowed me. I might give it as a gift to someone who is just learning the craft. With that said, there are no instructions on how to crochet. It is simply a book of patterns.

I LOVE THIS BOOK! Initially I thought this book was learning to crochet in a day, so imagine my surprise when I found this lovely resource chock full of great quick projects to finish in a few days time. I can relate to one of the authors saying they have "one sock syndrome..." You finally finish one and then you want to move on. This book is great for anyone who wants a quick and easy crochet project. They use a variety of easy to find yarns for samples, and mostly in worsted or bulky weight. Most patterns are rated "intermediate" but I did notice several easy patterns, as well.

The patterns are well written and so cute! With this one book, you get patterns for everything from hats and scarves to bags and home décor! I am so glad to have found this book and can't wait to get something on my hook.! I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys crochet and is looking for an easy and quick project or a gift.

Thanks to #NetGalley for a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

Three talented crochet crafters got together to create this wonderful pattern book of things that can be made in a day. The book includes hats, scarves, headbands,cup cozies, potholders, bags, totes, pillows, wall hangings and much more. Each pattern is outlined with the materials and equipment needed with step by step instructions to complete each project. All projects are wonderfully photographed and presented from different aspects and some with different yarn and color choices. This is an excellent resource for quick projects for yourself or to give as gifts.There are the abbreviation notations, yarn and materials resources and a visual index of all the projects.

As a crocheter, I love looking at new books and following designers. Selena Baca is one of the designers I follow, and I was thrilled when I saw she has a new book coming. Her patterns are amazing, easy to follow and always come out spectacular. This book does ot disappoint with the variety of patterns, and the instructions are clear as always. I look forward to this book on our shelves to recommend to my customers.

Crochet in a Day is a pattern book. There are no lessons for crocheting. There are wonderful patterns here for wearables, storage, home, decorating and so much more. The photos are good but could be more enlarged to show the item. The directions seem to be correct although I did not try all of the patterns for accuracy. If you are looking for some vintage as well as new inspiration this book fits the bill.

I would like to thank the author, publisher and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is a great reference and how to book for those who love to crochet! I am an avid crocheter and love to make gifts for friends and family and anyone who will accept my crocheted creations. I really loved the ideas I got from this book and enjoyed looking through all of the plans. The plans look solid and I am excited to spend the rest of my winter crocheting (when my kids will let me at least). I find it to be a great stress reliever (totally necessary when at home with 3 kids that are not school aged yet) and it doesn't have as many calories as chocolate!!

From hats to tablet cases to decor creations, this book has plenty of beautiful plans to keep you busy!

‘Crochet in a Day’ is chock-full of quick crochet projects, including multiple variations of always-useful projects (and great gifts) like hats, headbands, cowls (including one that looks knit!), fingerless gloves, and a wide variety of totes, bags, and household items. The projects are divided into sections, like ‘Wearables,’ ‘Kitchen & Dining,’ and even ‘Living,’ which includes blankets, a basket, an adorable pillow, and several wall art projects. Some of the projects seem a little out-dated, but there’s something here for almost everyone.
I haven’t made any yet, but have already marked a few to try—like the Windsor Washclloth, which uses a great-looking, woven technique and the adorable coin purse—and read through the instructions, which seem clear and easy to follow. I appreciate that there are several pictures of each project (although some of the pictures are funny—with the models standing funny, or with odd expressions on their faces). I’m looking forward to trying some of the new-to-me techniques—like crocheting triangles, or the join-as-you-go hexagon runner, or some of the stitches I don’t know—which are already giving me ideas for other projects of my own.
I greatly prefer hard-copy versions of art and craft books, but even the kindle version of this book is easy to follow (not always the case).
This is a nice collection of more than 40 quick crochet projects for all sorts of uses using a nice variety of stitches and techniques. Nice for crocheters of all ages and levels.

Lots of new ideas for quick and easy crochet projects – hats and headbands, phone or tablet covers, coffee cozies, baskets, bags and totes. There’s even cute patterns for the proverbial dish rags and placemats. I especially liked the home decorating projects; after the winter hat-making season, it’s fun to crochet something new and different.
