5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful crochet, September 12, 1999

By A Customer

For those who love to crochet delicate creations of beauty, this book is lovely. I've made several of the edgings, & I love to just look at the pictures even when I'm not making anything. Highly recommended!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best filet books on the market, June 5, 2001

By	Janet Rehfeldt (Sun Prairie, WI) - See all my reviews

This is the one of the most detailed books on filet crochet that I have ever read. It has background, history, comparisons, patterns. The pattern section has a good variety to choose from and are not just doilies. The instructions are excellent and the patterns are just beautiful. The introduction and general "how to" instructions are detailed and have large illustrations. There is a conversion chart of hook sizes, as well as US and British terms for chart symbols and abbreviations. There are complete instructions on how to read charts, do increasing and decreasing, make turns and calculate patterns. It has a great "first project" with one the best illustrated directions I've seen for how to work the stitches and where to actually place your hook for stitches and turns. I would recommend this book regardless of whether you are already into filet crochet or want to learn how to do filet crochet. Chris did an excellent job.

5.0 out of 5 stars easy to follow instructions,lots of projects,great for all, March 25, 1998

By	susan@maverick.com (Bayonne,NJ) - See all my reviews

This book is one of my favorites. I bought this book as beginner with no experience with thread crochet . The instructions are easy to follow and there are projects on all levels of difficulty, from simple panels to elaborate tableclothes. Most projects call for bedspread weight thread .The charts are easy to understand and the technique is easy . I love the large number of projects and the wonderful pictures. I am no longer a beginner but this book is still a favorite, dog-earred and returned to frequently.
