Every step in every project is explained in plain language and illustrated in great detail (without confusing abbreviations, diagrams or codes). All the instructions have been rigorously tested by certified crochet know-nothings. Crochet comes with everything you need to get started, including two kinds of yarn, a crochet hook and a yarn needle. Projects include a chic scarf, super cute purse, stylish hat and more. All the projects are teen-approved and way cooler than Grandma's tea cozy.

The instructions are crystal clear. The trickiest bit about crochet is where to put the hook for the next stitch. This book has extra-clear color diagrams that demystify the process.
They also have patterns for things that people might actually want to make. Many crochet books try to start you out with a pot-holder or dishrag. Um, not too thrilling. This book basically has you make the same thing--a simple small rectangle of single crochet, but then has you fold it into a jewelry case. Much better.
All of the projects are actually cute and worth your time. Thank God, no skirts made of granny-squares! (Would crochet designers forget that! No one--not one single person on the planet--would be caught dead in a skirt that looks like your grandmother's afghan. And no clever crocheted bikinis either. Just cute, do-able projects.
I haven't actually used the yarn ithat comes with the kit, so I can't say whether it's good quality, but it appears to be.
I think this book/kit would be appreciated by a person of any age who wants to learn a fun and useful craft.

I've been knitting for years and decided to pick up crochet. I have tried to follow other books, but it just wasn't clicking for me. Five minutes with this book and I was off and going. The illustrations are fabulous e.g. little arrows that say "put next stitch here". And each project walks you through the entire project step-by-step...all the way to the end! There are 6 quick, but rewarding projects that give you instant success and gratification!!!
The projects are:
Jewelry Roll/eyeglass case
Envelope purse
Bath soap bag
Flowers
Cloche hat
scarf
I've made 4 of the six projects in a week and never got lost or frustrated. I love the way they turned out.
I just wish I'd known about the knitting book from Klutz when I was learning to knit.
This would make an awesome gift for anyone wanting to learn to crochet.

I was given this book as a gift from my husband a few weeks ago--I thought it might be too juvenile but I was wrong! I had been trying to learn to crochet from instructions found on the internet but was not catching on at all. After 10 minutes with this book I realized exactly what I was doing wrong and had the first project completed within the hour. I have made every project from the book now and I'm ready to pass it along to a friend, she cannot believe how much I was able to do in such a short time but the instructions are that clear. I agree with a previous reviewer--the clarity of the illustrations and hook placement make all the difference. I highly recommend this book for anyone frustrated with learning to crochet.
