It is easy to get hooked on a good book and even easier to get hooked on bookish crochet goods. Who doesn’t love to get a cozy gift paired with a new book?
Crochet, like most fiber art, is a versatile medium. With the right pattern, you can make a doll, a blanket, a scarf, a bag, or a bookmark. Makers can really get creative and create the perfect bookish crochet goods.
It is a time-intensive handcraft that still cannot be replicated by a machine. Crochet is a slow, deliberate artistic labor. A scarf can take anywhere from two to twenty hours, let alone a bigger project. Crochet projects really depend on your skill and the size of yarn you’re using, so time varies. So, while patterns are relatively affordable, once you get to the bigger, high-detail items, you are paying for the amount of time and training a piece takes to make.
So here is my pitch: bookish crochet goods are one way to support slow fashion, small artists, and your bookish obsessions all in one. I would be thrilled to receive any of the ten following bookish crochet goods. They are simply too cute and too impressive to pass up.
