Unofficial Taylor Swift Crochet: 20+ Projects Inspired by the Music and Style Icon

In this buoyant guide, Sartori (Friends) shows how to make clothes, accessories, and other crocheted items based on Taylor Swift’s songs. The projects pay tribute to each of Swift’s albums, or “eras,” excluding 2024’s Tortured Poets Department. For Red, Sartori shares how to recreate the newsboy cap Swift wears on the album’s cover, as well as how to use Alpine stitch to crochet a burgundy scarf resembling the one worn by the lead actor in the “All Too Well” music video. The rustic Folklore and Evermore fittingly inspire some of the coziest pieces, including a cardigan with twisting cables and a “Marjorie” granny square blanket adorned with an amber heart, a nod to the amber dress Swift wears while performing the song on her Eras tour. Elsewhere, Sartori describes how to make fingerless gloves that say “flawless” and “fearless”; an amigurumi doll of Swift in her black and red Reputation tour outfit; a “Shake It Off” beanie echoing the color scheme of Swift’s cheerleader uniform in the song’s music video; and a tote bag featuring the cat mentioned in “Karma.” Sartori is clearly a true fan, and readers will enjoy spotting the details she incorporates from Swift’s lyrics and performances. Additionally, the projects are evenly split between four difficulty levels, ensuring there’s something for everyone. Swifties will swoon. (Oct.)
