Best Ever Crochet Booklet

This beautiful little book has it all...stitch instructions, descriptions of yarns, and patterns galore, plus beautiful photos. But best of all, it is compact and travels everywhere with me!

Best Crochet Book

I have owned this book for years and have to say it is one of the best crochet books I've seen! It not only shows you the basic stitches, but it gives you many different kinds of patterns that you can then use in many different ways. It allows you to be very creative as you can apply the patterns however you wish, blankets, sweaters, window treatments, etc. You decide! I have many beautiful things around my home thanks to this book! I would highly recommend it! I am actually in a panic right now because I can't find my copy....so I am ordering another!

This is a must have for all crocheters.

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.
