5.0 out of 5 stars This is a must have for all crocheters., July 26, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Pattern Library: Crochet (Paperback)

This is a great reference book that is packed with information from cover to cover. This book is perfect for the beginner to the advanced crocheter. It's the perfect tote bag or travel companion. It's small and has all the information you need to choose yarns, hooks, and stitch patterns. Great definitions for abreviations and symbols and how tos for reading patterns and applying them to your work. This book shows you how to do basic to complicated crochet stitches. I really like the color photos of differet yarns by thickness with suggested hook sizes. Great color photos of each one of the stitch patterns with suggested yarns and uses given on each one. This book also has a terrific index making it easy to locate anything in the book quickly. I was so impressed with this that I bought 2. One for me and one to give as a gift.

I just started to crochet and I could easily follow the instructions. This book has colored photos for each lesson. The authors instuctions are very clear (not confusing). From each crochet design you can make a very large project or a very tiny one, the instructions are not limited to a certain size. You can also use these instructions to make anything you want.
