Inspiration for beginners and long time crocheters alike

This is a great crochet book for many reasons. One reason is the wonderful photographs and the clear consise instructions that come with the projects. Another reason is because it shows crochet being fashionable and easy to make as opposed to being something "old fashioned" looking.When my youngest neice asked for a crochet book as a gift, this is the book I picked to give her. It has good instructions for beginning crocheters (which she is) and has enough innovative patterns to keep her interested past the initial frustration of learning a new craft. This is a high compliment from me because I've been crocheting over 30 years and have seen many crochet books and I thought this one was the best for a young woman just starting to crochet. (I may have chosen the Lily Chin one, but it wasn't out at that time.) I recommend this book highly to anybody who wants to expand their crochet skills. The projects are beautiful and instructions are clear. (No, I _didn't_ see the "mistake" on page 156. I'm wondering if the other reviewer may have misread the instructions.) If you know a crocheter and he or she doesn't have this book, give them this book at the next gift giving opportunity. If you crochet, you should get this book and enjoy it.

Great book for beginners and experts.

I have made several of the items in this book. The instructions are the clearest I have seen. This book has the most comprehensive stitch guide I have seen. Patterns include a gorgeous afghan, shawls, hats, scarves, purses, sweaters, and baby things. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in crochet.

THE best and most helpful crochet book I have ever read!

This book is fabulous. I just got it today, and have been reading it for two hours. BEAUTIFUL patterns, great instructions for both beginning crocheters and those who are very experienced. I wish I had this book when I first learned to crochet!I would like to respond to the review left by Dana Hudson. She states she's had much difficulty with the sweater pattern on page 156. After reading the pattern, I've come to the conclusion that the pattern itself is not incorrect. Both the Back and Front pieces of the sweater are worked from the bottom for 46 rows. Then the armholes are shaped for 33 rows on the Back piece, and 19 rows for the Front piece, to the neckline. The Front piece has FEWER total rows than the Back. This is because, as you can see by laying any sweater on a flat surface, a front neckline is lower than a back neckline. I wish I could contact Ms. Hudson and clarify this for her. It is a beautiful sweater.The other patterns in the book are quite delicious-looking, too! This book is ESSENTIAL for any crocheter!!

Beginners and advanced crocheters will benefit

Clear, concise instructions, both in text and pictures -- including international symbols (and how to read them). Everything is explained several ways so if you don't get one explanation, try another. Beginners can make the stitch sampler afghan, then go on to a full project using favorite stitches. Definitely a book that will help beginners, but advanced crocheters will benefit from great patterns and at least one tip that's new to them. A fine job of laying out this book means advanced folks can easily skip familiar instructions without fear of missing something new. The cost of this book tips the scale to make this a 5 star recommendation.
