The photos are just wonderful, and I wish I had this book when I was first learning to crochet. It is nice and small, so I keep it in my bag for reference now. It covers just about every crochet topic you need.

Thing to note...this book is the same content as the larger version(Teach yourself visually to crochet)...just in a smaller size. I wish I had known that because I purchased both. As far as I can tell, they are the same book.

This book is a must for someone like me who is new to crochet. I love the fact that it is compact and that I can take it along with me when I'm working on different projects. I highly recommend it!

I'd tried other books but the diagrams were never good enough, or they didn't word the instructions well or in a detailed manner, and I gave up trying to learn crochet for a LONG time. Once I picked up this book, I had some little stuffed animals (amigurumi) made in about a week and less than a month later I had a beautiful baby blanket done and you'd NEVER know that I have JUST learned how to do this. This book seriously made me love crochet and I don't plan to go back to knitting now that I know how much more fun and easy this is.

I bought both the crochet & the knitting book using this Visual Quick Tip instructional method. I really like both. The pictures are clear and the instructions can work you through even difficult stitches.

There are many very good & comprehensive crochet books out there, but this little book is a great shortcut to learning from the combined wisdom of those who have stitched and frogged before us. Not only does it anticipate mistakes (or variations with unexpected results), but more importantly it provides useful distinctions that allow me to choose, say, between 2 or 3 similar techniques without necessarily having to try them all out.

Minutes after leafing through this book, I discovered what mistakes I had been making in my crochet WIPs. It has saved me from frustrating errors & hours of frogging -- this by itself already makes the book well worth the price. Other great features: nice small size; clear & colorful images; very useful size charts for kids & adult garments.

Crochet VISUAL Quick Tips is a portable life-saver that is small, but packs an encyclopedia of knowledge to save your life in any crochet-emergency!

A picture says a thousand words, and the photographs here are amazingly well done, so that even with very little reading you can get the job done. If you already have the larger book, you would do well to have this one as well for ready reference in your work bag.

The directions here are straightforward, simple and complete. The steps to follow are even numbered, so you won't fumble by getting ahead of yourself.

If you ever take your work with you when you leave home, I strongly recommend that you purchase this book. It is very well worth the price, and you will never regret buying it.

This is a great book for teaching fundamentals of crochet or advanced techniques. The instructions are verbal as well as visual. It really inspired me to pick up my crochet again after many years. Joyce

I am trying to teach myself to crochet and I got this book because others raved about this series. It really is no different than any other how-to knitting or crochet book. If you are a hands-on learner, then this is not the book for you. However, it may come in handy after I take a class, and need prompts when I'm working on my own.

This book was very helpful. The information is organized very well so you can go right to what you need. The color photos are what makes it so great. They make it easy to learn the techniques. It's also compact enough to keep in my purse or crochet bag. I definitely recommend this one!

This product is something every crocheter should own. It has clear , concise directions & pictures. I recommend this book wholeheartedly.
