Really nice book for craft lovers. This has a whole range of ideas for projects and the instructions make it easy to achieve successful results too.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for letting me read this book in exchange for my feedback.

It's hard to find crochet home projects that I actually want to put out in my home. Usually, I hate to say it, but crocheted projects for the home usually look like I'm trying to recreate the decorations from my grandma's house. Just not my style. However, I'm pleased to say that this title was an unexpected surprise! The projects in this book are for decor I'll actually enjoy putting in my home and giving as gifts. The patterns were easy to follow and the author did a great job providing additional explanations. I recommend all crocheters grab a copy! Thanks to Salena Baca and Globe Pequot for the ARC in return for my honest review.

Beautiful projects. I would be interested in making a few of the projects & I think it would make a good addition to our public library.

This was easy to read, follow and make. I enjoyed the patterns and love to try new patterns. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy, however all opinions are my own.

This book has some new patterns and is great for the beginner who wants to move on from blankets and afghans to other home decor. The instructions are easy to follow and the illustrations are colorful and helpful. Ms. Baca has a series of books on crocheting. I'd recommend the print version.

A very practical guide to crochet things that are actually useful in your home!
A great book for people who don't want to crochet amigurumi or other bits and bobs but prefer to crochet for their home.

The crochet instructions were clear and simple, and this book would work well for people starting out looking for crochet ideas for their homes. I did not get a chance to try out any of the designs before my access to the book expired.
Since I did not attempt any of the designs in the book, I cannot provide a more extensive review for the book.
The author provides appropriate information with clear pictures for better results.

I loved the planter cover and hanging planter patterns! Easy to follow and understand even though I am still a beginner!

Great simple read with beautiful pictures. Crocheting is an art I’ve always loved but find it falls behind in popularity with knitting but this book shows the versatility of the art of crochet around the house.

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for this arc. The patterns were easy to follow and I have started a project from this book.

Great little book of crochet patterns. It is for the more advanced crafter and doesn't include descriptions of the actual stitches. The patterns are explained well and the pictures are beautiful. I've done two projects from this book and both have come out well!

As a crocheter and knitter for many years, I always look forward to seeing new crafting books. There is nothing quite like cracking open a book, browsing all the colorful photos, and dreaming of having enough time to make everything within the book’s pages. This book is no different. The designer has included a variety of different designs of different skill levels. The materials list seem thorough and the pattern directions are well written and clear. The photos are staged well. This is a terrific book to add to your crochet library and a designer to watch for in the future.

Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for this ecopy in exchange for an honest review.

I have been looking for books on crocheting and this one's absolutely perfect, especially because I want a cozy home and would hopefully use it while setting up my future home with my boyfriend (to be husband, hopefully).

A good collection of projects for home. Not necessarily practical projects but some beautiful decor items.

My Crochet Home by Salena Baca is a collection of patterns for home decor crochet. There is a variety in content from blankets and baskets to an ottoman. The patterns are clearly written and easy to follow.

Thank you to @Netgalley and @SalenaBaca for the ARC.

I taught myself to crochet when I was much younger, and as this was back in the day before YouTube and online tutorials, I crocheted a lot of squares/rectangles and simple shapes (including some very tragic dolls). I wish I’d had this book then as it provides 10 easy-to-follow patterns and instructions for items that are useable around the house or even as gifts. These include wall hangings, pillows, ottomans, baskets, and more.

The patterns are all based on single or double crochet stitches, which makes them easy to follow even for beginners. There are a few special techniques added throughout, but clear instructions are provided each time. I also appreciated that the author provided the number of skins of each color needed for projects (though it’s easy to change the colors to ones you prefer), as well as details about the gauge of the hook/yarn and other relevant details.

If you like crochet and want to create some lovely projects for your home or for gifts, then this is a must read. My thanks to NetGalley and Globe Pequot for allowing me to read this work. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own.
