5.0 out of 5 stars
Great for beginners and my mom loved it too,
This review is from: The Encyclopedia Of Crochet Techniques: A Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Unique Fashions and Accessories (Hardcover)
I'm pretty new to crochet, but found this really useful to get to understand things about crochet projects I was trying to make from magazines. My mom is a bit of a crochet expert, and reckons she has learned a few things from this book too, so there you go, two satisfied customers for the price of one!

I am teaching myself to crochet and this book has been a great help. It has not only helped me with the different stitches but it has helped me to better understand how to read patterns.

Definitely the best crocheting guide available!,
This review is from: The Encyclopedia Of Crochet Techniques: A Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Unique Fashions and Accessories (Hardcover)
As a beginning crocheter, I looked at many crocheting books. Most of them were disappointing. Not this book. This is definitely the best book available and I would highly recommend it. The drawings, photographs and explanations are clear, understandable and correct.
