My friend Debbie, of Merry Crafters, recently sent me a free copy of her new activity books. They’re full of knitting and crochet themed puzzles. I’ve always been a puzzle addict, so this combination of fiber arts and puzzles is truly irresistible! These activity books would make a great gift for any fiber lover on your list this year.

Keeping Spirits High

In 2020, during the early days of Covid lockdowns, my local Crochet Guild chapter stopped meeting. That’s when Debbie had an idea to keep our spirits up. She started making fun puzzles and emailing them to the chapter members as a way to connect. It worked! Everyone loved her puzzles so much, she decided to share them with the rest of the world as well. That’s how these knitting and crochet activity books came about.

They’re chock full of over 100 fantastic puzzles each.

Section 1 – Knitting and Crochet Word Puzzles

Try your hand at word searches, crosswords, cryptogram, and other classic word puzzles, all with a knitting or crochet theme.

The word scrambles in the knitting book are set on pretty backgrounds that look like knitting. In the crochet book, there’s one that looks like flower embellishments! I love how the illustrations add to the fun.

In this first section of the knitting and crochet activity books, there are even logic puzzles (my favorite), and trivia!

Section 2 – Knitting and Crochet Picture Puzzles

Wind your way through yarny mazes in the shape of mittens, sheep, sweaters and more. There’s even an alpaca! Then try a few different versions of pattern matching puzzles. Find the matches, find the differences, and match shadows to the original image.

These kinds of picture puzzles are just OK to me in general. I much prefer the word and number puzzles. But I love coloring, and these are all beautifully detailed, black and white images just perfect for coloring in!

Section 3 – Knitting and Crochet Number Puzzles

This is a bonus section, and my favorite of all! It has sudoku puzzles, and find the number puzzles. The latter are in the style of word finds, but with numbers.
