Choosing between knitting & crochet patterns comes down to the kind of projects you actually want to make. A focused granny-square guide can be easier to navigate when you want a clear starting point, while an amigurumi collection makes more sense if you want many characterful subjects in one purchase. These two crochet books take distinctly different approaches.
Quick verdict
Choose Granny Squares Made Easy Crochet Pattern Book for a focused route into granny-square projects, with guidance that also reaches home décor, accessories, garments, and blankets. Choose Crochet Amigurumi Pattern Books Lot Of 3 when variety matters more and you want a collection centered on amigurumi designs.

Product notes
Granny Squares Made Easy Crochet Pattern Book
The clearest reason to choose Granny Squares Made Easy Crochet Pattern Book is its defined project path. The guide combines step-by-step instructions and stitch tutorials with granny-square patterns, then extends those techniques into home projects, bags, accessories, sweaters, cardigans, and blankets. The UK terminology plus US conversion chart is another practical detail for crocheters who encounter both naming systems. Its limitation is the narrow central theme: the book is specifically organized around granny squares, so its appeal depends on wanting that style of crochet rather than a broad collection of unrelated pattern types. At USD 5.49, it suits a shopper seeking one focused guide rather than a three-book amigurumi set.
Crochet Amigurumi Pattern Books Lot of 3
Crochet Amigurumi Pattern Books Lot Of 3 makes its case through breadth. The combined total of 105 patterns spans food, animals, plants, and inanimate objects, giving the collection a distinctly playful amigurumi direction. The lot includes *Crochet Café*, *Whimsical Stitches* by Lauren Epsy, and *Kawaii Crochet* by Melissa Bradley, so the purchase brings three named books rather than one title. The trade-off is the USD 35.00 listed price, which is $29.51 above the granny-square book. Its stated focus is also amigurumi, with an 8 Ply wool-weight attribute, making the collection a less direct fit for someone specifically looking for granny-square, sweater, or blanket patterns.
Final choice by use case
- For granny-square projects and a focused learning route: choose Granny Squares Made Easy Crochet Pattern Book.
- For a broad amigurumi collection: choose Crochet Amigurumi Pattern Books Lot Of 3, especially if food, animal, plant, and object designs appeal to you.
- For the lower listed price: choose the granny-square book; the $29.51 spread is substantial enough to define the purchase decision.
- For garments or blankets within a granny-square guide: choose Granny Squares Made Easy, whose project range explicitly includes both.
The better fit is therefore determined less by crochet versus crochet and more by focus versus breadth: one specialized guide at $5.49, or three amigurumi books at $35.
