I really loved this book. I've never been able to "get it" before, but with this book's help, I am actually able to crochet!

The instructions are excellent and don't leave anything out. The photos are clear and the illustrations are helpful. If you're new to crochet, this book will show you exactly how to do the patterns. It explains different types of yarn as well, so you don't go out and buy the wrong thing.

The projects are a nice variety; the apparel and accessories are fashionable and contemporary. Have fun trying it out!

This book has everything you need to know to begin the craft of crocheting. The instructions are extremely helpful, and the photographs and sketches tell you exactly how to proceed. No step is omitted here. There are a variety of projects; my favorite is the basketweave blanket. The "Tips", highlighted in yellow, are like having a personal instructor looking at your work. When the book is opened to the page you are working on, it lies flat because of its spiral binding.

Having purchased a previous Stackpole on rug hooking, I knew that this one would be good as well. I was not disappointed. This is one of the books on crochet that I reference the most. The dialogue is clear and concise which excellent pictures to reference the written material. The projects start out with the basics and progress to more difficult tasks. Excellent book to add to your library on crochet especially when beginning to learn how.

I love this book. I found it at B&N and was so impressed with detailed colored pictures

and patterns in this book. I am very slow at learning new stitches and this was amazingly easy to understand! I knew I could find a better deal on Amazon so I came here to purchase and saved a lot of money beside. This is my go to book for crochet!
