I'm not a fan of Taylor Swift's, but I love to crochet so I wanted to see what this book was all about. I don't understand the references, but some of these patterns are stunning! I can't wait to try to crochet the "Back to December" Hooded Cowl and "All Too Well" Scarf. I love how they teach some more advanced techniques, including the foundation crochet and inserting a zipper. This book is great for someone at any skill level. While this book is perfect for Taylor Swift fans, this book is great for anyone who loves fashion and crocheting!

What I Liked: A fun collection of crochet projects, each associated with a Taylor Swift album and or song. Lots of clever photos.

What I Disliked: Considering the recent worldwide craze over Taylor wearing a Granny Crochet Style Striped Dress, the omission of a project tied to this theme makes the book already outdated. Also, the book’s instructions for the various projects are often too generalized. Seems as if projects were created by someone and then they tried to invent instructions after the fact.

This instructional book is the perfect gift for Swiftie Hookers (Taylor Swift fans who crochet) or anyone who loves both crochet and Taylor Swift. Packed with Swiftie-themed projects, it's fully illustrated, includes difficulty levels, and is filled with helpful tips. Whether you're making blankets, clothing, embellishments, or dolls, there’s something here for fans of all experience levels.

I love the variety in this book. I want to try to learn crocheting this fall and this book offers both beginner friendly and more ambitious projects.
The cardigans are especially pretty though out of my league at this point. I will try out a scarf first I think and maybe try to crochet a rose, though probably not the entire rug.
There's picture descriptions of the basic stitches at the end of the book as well, which is definitely helpful for beginners.

These are very doable projects for all skill levels and with easy to follow instructions. You have more than twenty projects to choose from. I love that it’s a mix of cute things to have around the house as décor and legitimate pretty things you can wear. If you are new to crochet it will certainly motivate you into picking this book for your first project. Definitely recommend.

I'm going to start with the "Back to December" Hooded Cowl.

Special thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group-Quarry|Quarry Books for sharing this book with me in exchange for my honest review.

Even if you don’t know how to crochet - this book is for you! Immediately my most favorite book of all time. Easy to follow instructions to create TS staples like the Scarf but also unique pieces like dolls and journal covers. I love how there were crochet pieces for each level of skill and basic crochet lessons and stitches in the back to get you started.
This is such a perfect gift for Swifties who live to crochet or want to know how! Truly a must have!

Very cute book! I have yet to try crocheting anything in this book, but after going through it, the patterns are very cute and a mix of things inspired by TS to the artist, as well as lookalikes to things in the TS-verse (red scarf, cardigan, etc.) One thing I wasn't a huge fan of--whenever crochet books have wearables, I prefer to have them modeled by real people to see how something might actually lay over a person. This book has cute illustrations of people wearing them, but it can be hard to tell what a finished product will look like on a human without actually seeing it.

I’m learning how to crotchet and I absolutely LOVE Taylor Swift so this is truly perfect.

Its the best of both worlds!

I have been meaning to get into crochet and took this book as my sign!

As a huge Swiftie, the idea of being able to make my own merch has always appealed to me, as I do love a good craft. So this book is perfect.

I was so excited to see what type of projects where included in the book and I was not disappointed to see that there is indeed a Folklore cardigan!! I am so excited. You best believe that once I actually figure out how to crochet I am making one for every single era! The amazing thing about this book is that it actually teaches you the basics and the things you need to know to complete the projects which I think is awesome.

While there are some amazing designs and projects in the book that I absolutely adore, there are also quite a few that I found a little disappointing design wise, but that may just be due to personal preference.
Overall, I found each design and their instructions easy to read and follow. The layouts were super cute and I love how the difficulties were displayed through friendship bracelets!

Swiftie approved! Definitely recommend!

I love the song references and the look that goes with each piece!

Note: the book will not teach you the basic steps of crocheting. You get to know it first of course.

You will love the illustrations and the basic measures you will require for each piece mentioned.

Amazing guide as always from the team.

Thank you, Quarry Books, for the ARC.

Crochet and Taylor Swift?? The perfect combination! I love this idea and I loved the patterns in this book, I can't wait to try them. They're easy to follow and I like the addition of the difficulty level

This was such a great idea for a book. As a Taylor Swift fan, I was very excited about a book of crochet patterns devoted to all things Taylor Swift. There were so many amazing patterns. The patterns were varied, unique, and well thought through. The pictures were very helpful as well. The instructions were well-written. I also like knowing the difficulty level before starting. I can see this book being great for any Swifty. It would also make a great gift. I am so happy to have received this book will make many gifts for others and for myself.

This book will be great for anyone who is looking to get into crochet. There's a wide range of projects, including patterns to crochet your own Folklore cardigan or Red scarf. And there's a tutorial section in the back that will walk you through different stitches. I can't wait to try these.

I'm not a Swiftie, but I am a newbie crocheter. The patterns look easily understandable for someone who has basic crochet skills and, even if you're not a TS fan, there's some cute things you can make (the "Never Grow Up" baby blanket looks cozy). And now I know how to add a zipper to a crochet project!

I laughed when I first saw this book listed. It seemed so random, but then somehow made sense the more I thought about it? The tie-ins to Taylor are on point and there are a variety of different patterns for different skill levels. The instructions made sense for me, someone who crochets as a hobby. There are definitely some patterns in here that I will plan to make for some of my more obsessed Swifty friends.

Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group - Quarry, and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review!

I loved this book!!! As a swiftie and someone who loves to crochet, this book is perfect for me! As I am more of a beginner crocheter, I found it helpful that there were step by step instructions on how to crochet. I would definitely recommend!

Thank you netgallery for allowing me to read Unofficial Taylor Swift Crochet.

5/5 Stars!

"Unofficial Taylor Swift Crochet" is a nicely & clearly photographed fusion of crafting and style that will enchant both Swifties and crocheters alike. This vibrant collection, curated by Lee Sartori, offers over 20 diverse projects spanning clothing, home décor, and accessories, all inspired by Taylor Swift's iconic style and music.

From the "All Too Well" scarf (my personal fav) to THE "Cardigan" sweater, each project captures Swift's carefully curated style while providing a creative outlet for crafters of all skill levels. I also adore the Reputation TS amigurumi with her amazing suit!

The book's clear instructions, difficulty ratings, and "Taylor Made" customization tips make it accessible to beginners and interesting for even experienced crocheters. I found the instructions in the very back of the book to be very high quality, a lot better than you get in some of the more common pop culture-themed crochet books.

If you have a Swifite in your life you think should get into crochet, get them this book. It is also a perfect gift for any already craft-loving Swiftie looking to express their creativity through crochet.

Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group – Quarry Books & NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Love this!! Beautiful patterns to make some truly lovely Taylor Swift handmade merch!! I cannot wait to make some of these and show others how too to.

I loved the diverse range of projects in this Taylor Swift themed crochet book including wearables, amigurumi and home decorations. I thought it was great that the difficulty level of the project was indicated from beginner all the way up to experienced. The pattern were very clearly written and would be easy to follow especially as special stitches used for each individual pattern are noted at the start of the pattern.

I have to admit that I am not the biggest Swiftie so I didn't understand a lot of the references throughout the book or the inspiration behind the projects however if you are a big Taylor Swift fan this would be such a fun book to have on your shelf. My favourite projects were the cardigan sweater and the shake it off sweater.

Overall this was a very well written book and I liked the range of projects available. This would make an amazing Christmas present for any crafty Swifties out there!

Do I have any crochet skills at all? No. Did I still read this entire book? Yes. I think my favorite is the pillow, although I would probably pick a different song. The projects are cute and the photos in the book are great. Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the advanced copy in exchange for a review.
