Customer Reviews

The BEST crochet book ever.

This is the best book for crochet enthusiasts ever. Even though it doesn't have patterns, it has stitches I've never seen before and great details to learn them. You can go the extra mile and create your own patterns using these stitches. I bought one for a gal pal for her birthday and she hasn't stopped talking about it. I am going to get a lot of use from this book. I would recommend it to anyone who loves to crochet.

Great diagrams and instructions....

this book is where I often start for making new projects. Stitches are explained with good detail and photos that are very helpful. Would definately recommend to any level of crocheter!

awesome reference!

This crochet book is the perfect reference for those who like to make up there own projects. She gives you step by step instructions and easy to read diagrams for each stitch. From there, it's easy to imagine and create your own designs! Personally, I don't like to be confined by a particular pattern, but I love learning all the different stitches explained in this book.

Best I've Seen

This book is not just fantastic for the stitch patterns included (over 200) - but for the additional info! I have been crocheting blankets and afghans for over 10 years and am ready to start branching out - I have always been unclear on how to join pieces for clothing and this book gives you ALL the options with clear, detailed instructions. There is a pattern index - WITH PICTURES! - and beautiful ones at that! A must have for anyone ready to move on from the ordinary double crochet stitch!

Great reference book

I'm a fairly new crocheter and this is the best book I've found. It gives clear directions--both written and diagrams. The diagrams make more sense to me than the written instructions, so I've used more than 20 of these stitches already. It's a great guide to help you design your own patterns. I've made several baby blankets using stitches I've found in this book.
