It’s finished! Here is the completed Earth Day Crochet Quiet Book! There are a total of 10 crocheted pages that feature nature-themed appliques coordinating with numbers 1 through 10. Let’s go through each one! Click on the highlight text to get the pattern for each page. The finished size is approximately 9 x 9 and 4 inches thick!
1 Earth
Each of these pages uses various colors of Bernat Super Value yarn. Did you know that there are over 50 shades to choose from on Yarnspirations.com?! Here is the complete list of all the colors I used (not all are pictured).
Shop all the colors HERE!
Bernat Super Value:
Oatmeal, Lush Green, Hot Blue, Sky Blue, Taupe, Pumpkin, Yellow, Navy, Denim Heather, Steel Blue, White, Soft Fern, Aqua, Bright Yellow, Rouge, Berry Red, Peacock Blue, Light Damson, Heather Gray, Peach, Natural, Mushroom, and Cool Blue
Once you have crocheted the pages, you will need to connect them all together. I have made a short video explaining what I did.
You will want to place all the pages in order and back to back. I single crocheted along the spine of two pages at a time, starting with 3 SC and then a chain 1 + skipping a stitch, then 3 more SC stitches, repeating all the way down the spine. This gives you 8 chain spaces to attach your pages together. I ended up hot gluing each back to back page together. You can stitch them together or leave as is! You can also use fabric glue if hot glue makes you uncomfortable. Once you have crocheted along the spine of all 5 pieces (remember your pages are back to back), you can use book rings to link them together. Alternatively you can use use yarn to tie them together. Get creative and let me know what you come up with!
I found my book rings at Hobby Lobby (online HERE) and you can find similar ones on Amazon HERE.
Here is a video of me reading the book!
I hope you and your children enjoy this project and the finished piece! Please tag me on social media if you are working on this or have made it! Would love to see your versions!
Happy Earth Day!

Thank You! Time for me to get busy with the hook!
Susan says
Thank you, this is wonderful! I’d like to make both the book and a blanket. Love it!
Brandi says
Do you crochet along all the edges of the pages, or just along the edge where you put them together?
julie wong says
this is super freaking adorable! I love it!!
Susan says
This is so clever! I’m definitely making this for my new granddaughter!
The only thing I would change: there are 7 colors in the rainbow. ROY G BIV.
I’m switching the raindrops to 6.
Thank you for this lovely idea.

Do you have a printer friendly version of the pattern(s)? Trying to print from the article with all the pictures and ads is far too difficult.
Margaret says
I use Print Friendly to print from most blogs. http://www.printfriendly.com Then I use it to take out all the ads before I save it as a pdf.
Sara says
Such an amazing idea!! Can finished product be sold with credit back to you?
Maria Phoa says
Beautiful .
Vicky Heimbecker says
Mine is done!!!! Great pattern(s)! Great instructions! I took a few liberties, but followed it for the most part. I replaced Earth with a butterfly. I replaced the recycle arrows on “10” with a little flower. My flower on 5 puckered, so I went with the flow and actually stuffed it a little for a 3D effect. Thank you so much for this pattern!

Hi there
I love the book and plan to start making it as a gift for our god daughters upcoming birthday. I’m unable to get hold of Bernat in the UK at the moment so plan on using a different brand yarn. Could you possibly tell me how much yarn you used for each of the squares? I can only get hold of 100g balls so just need to work out if how many balls of each colour i’ll need? I plan on using my left overs for the page decorations. I hope this makes sense.

Jean Allen says
Very nice! Personally, I would add an indigo stripe to the rainbow to make it more realistic, but cute nonetheless. 🙂
Sabine Kaufmann says

Great list Carrie. I fit so many of these. I love that being a book lover I have passed that on to my children and grandchildren as well.
Kelly says
I love this! How can I get a crochet pattern copy?

A wonderful book comes out. If you make such books for children, they will quickly develop fine motor skills and thinking. I am a writer and now work on a service where I write reviews for help services. I am working on a description of the top 5 homework help websites and helping students with homework problems. Well, your work has become an excellent material for science lessons and so on. I think it can help many people.
Jess says
This book is beautiful, and am super keen to make this my next project. Do you have the complete pattern available for sale? I couldn’t seem to find it on your website.
Gaven Rank says
I like real books better, like this serious story about 1984. I think it’s a very prophetic book. It’s just that very few people understand it fully. I only figured it out myself when I read more material on the subject. For example I found more info here and was able to find out more about the background of the book and what critics think about it and so on. I hope it will be useful to everyone who reads it!
Lillie says
My hobbies got changed as I grew old. Reading is one of my hobbies. But I don’t consider it as a hobby; rather it is my way of life. What I read at each stage of life is actually a hobby. And now I write articles for https://essaywriterfree.net/management-assignment-help/ website. Its amazing experience)

Just completed this adorable book for my grandson. Loved working it up! Used the suggested metallic rings but will have to find another way to bind it. The yarn threads keep catching on the ring hinges as the pages are turned.
