The best way to describe this book is invaluable! There is so much
left I have to learn about crochet and this book is helping me on
my way. This book is designed to take you step-by-step in different
techniques and stitches so that you can learn them. The pictures
are amazingly clear and really do take you through step-by-step.
Everyone from a beginner upwards has something that they can learn
from this book. If you are a beginner then this book really is
invaluable. It takes you through the different ways you can hold
your hook to how to get started. It takes you through each of the
basic stitches you will need and then takes you through
everything from increasing to decreasing. This is a project book
this book is purely to learn to crochet, learn different stitches
and techniques to help support you on your crochet journey. An
amazing array of stitches are covered. Everything from a single
crochet to a puff stitch. Or why not try a raised treble rib. Once
you have learnt numerous stitches you can then learn how to crochet
with beads and sequins. How about learning broomstick crochet or
entrelac crochet. Then we move onto filet crochet and hairpin lace.
I love the section of Irish crochet. It makes it so easy to follow
and a scary technique look so easy. The book even takes you
through learning tunisian crochet. The other amazing thing in the
book is using crochet to create buttons, buttons holes and button
loops. I haven't covered everything in the book as there is just so
much packed in! I think this really is an invaluable book for any
crocheter!

through yet! This book would make an ideal present and reference
for the beginner, yet it is packed with informaiton even the most
experienced crocheter will find useful
