Thank you NetGalley, Globe Pequot, and Stackpole Books for a copy of this ebook for me to review!

My Crocheted Home is an appealing and current collection of crocheted home decor and soft furnishings by Salena Baca. Released 5th March 2024 by Rowman & Littlefield on their Stackpole imprint, it's 32 pages and is available in paperback format.

There are 10 tutorial patterns in the collection, including a couple of unusual ones like an ottoman and crochet caddy built like a firewood/magazine holder on a smaller scale. The usual suspects (granny throw, hanging plant holder, and pillows) are also represented, of course, but the designs are top notch and stylish. Many of the project also utilize VERY large scale yarn/twine and will be finished in no time at all.

Photography is clear and in color throughout. It's a very short book, but with designs which will appeal to a range of crafters. The individual tutorial are available on Ravelry, but this collection gathers them in one place for a total cost which is roughly equivalent to the price of 2 individual tutorials, for all 10. For readers who have purchased the designer's patterns before, it would be worth it to check individual contents, but otherwise it's a good value for the number of patterns included.

Four stars.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

None of the projects in My Crocheted Hime caught my attention enough for me to make them. However, the directions and photographs are clear and may appeal to others,

I was so excited to check out My Crocheted Home and the patterns that were offered! The patterns inside are more for your home decor and not just your standard blankets; one can only crochet so many blankets for people. The patterns are easy to follow and are so unique! I can't wait to try out more of them for my own home! Thank you for the ARC!

Whether you are just starting your crochet hobby or looking for some new patterns, this book is for you. The patterns are clear and easy to follow, producing excellent results every time.

Patterns are written well and diagrams are helpful. There are 10 patterns. The projects are all a bit bland - but I prefer to crochet colorful things. So if a project catches your eye then it could be worth purchasing the magazine.

I prefer it when the back cover shows images of all the projects. When you buy online you usually only have the front and back cover to judge it by. (There is an inner contents page with images of each project.)

What I particularly appreciate about "My Crocheted Home" is the variety of projects it offers. Whether you're a seasoned crocheter looking for a new challenge or a beginner eager to learn, there's something for everyone in this book. The clear instructions and helpful tips provided by Salena Baca make each project accessible and enjoyable to create. I will definitely look for more from this author.

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for the opportunity to review a temporary digital ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

A solid, if neutral, list of crochet projects that look like fun additions to the home. I am particularly excited to try the baskets and ottoman patterns. This book was a little short, but provided plenty of inspiration for those who want to crochet accessories for their home.

This is such a lovely premise for a crochet book and gave me ideas for more things to make other than the standard scarf and blanket!

This book contains ten patterns for making various house decor accessories. The instructions for each project seem clear and the book is nicely illustrated. Everything is constructed in a neutral (i.e., beige or grey) color, though, and this is not as attractive to me as if there were more colors included. I really couldn't see myself making any of these except maybe the basket and the pillows. I'd have no use for any of the other things. The two throws that were included were both not very attractive in my view. So, I wouldn't buy this book, and am not sure I'd recommend it unless a person is really into kitsch and/or in love with neutral color scheme.

Thank you to Globe Pequot and NetGalley for providing an advance review copy of this book. My opinions are my own.

What a beautiful book! I enjoyed reading about ways to make my home more cozy and comfortable with the crochet projects shown in the book. The patterns were easy to follow and had clear instructions. The yarn (and other notions) are fairly accessible and affordable, making these projects great for anyone. I especially enjoyed the photography of the finished items.

I am not really new to crocheting but I am also not a pro at it…The patterns seem like they would be easy to follow definitely going to try some of these patterns. Can’t wait to get my hands on a hard copy to add to my collection.

I would like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to review this book.

My Crocheted Home offers a selection of crochet patterns for various home decor.

Though many of the patterns in this book look complex -- I mean, to crochet an entire ottoman is certainly a feat! -- when you get down to the bones of the pattern, Salena Baca's designs are wonderfully simple (though not quite simple enough for a brand new crocheter, as the patterns don't offer much in the way of visual guidance). That makes these projects easy to tackle and a joy to display in the home. Plus, a large portion of the patterns use chunky yarns, which means the designs also work up quite fast. Though I don't think this pattern book is the be-all end-all for everyone's home decor needs -- the designs and types of items are very curated to specific uses and aesthetics -- I do think that every one of these patterns is practical and relatively easy to accomplish for crocheters whose aesthetic sensibilities align with Baca's.

Almost 10 years ago I taught myself to crochet using easy to read patterns and videos. This book would have been perfect to learn how to do so many different home projects with crocheting. But now, I have had the opportunity to review this book and see many of the patterns in it. My favorite pattern in this book was the arrowhead throw and the plant cozy. I will be purchasing this book to add to my collection of crochet books so that when it comes time to make gifts for people, I have it to look back on. I highly recommend this book and sharing it with those who love to be creative.

Great crochet patterns! These are written simply enough that a beginner should be able to follow them fairly easily, but I don’t think an advanced crocheter would be bored either. I’m looking forward to trying some of them!

I am a beginner crocheter, who is self-taught from Youtuve vidoes. So I usually find it difficult to read and follow written instructions., however, this books was an exception. The written instruction and images make it very clear what we are making and how to make it. I have even ear-marked 2 projects to make, and found I was able to follow the instructions and crochet comfortably.
The book has a handful of projects, but it is a good starting point for adding crocheted items to your home.
Also, I liked that most are 1-2 weekend projects and so are quick to make,
