best book ever!!!!!!!!!

this is an awsome book my mom had to help me with a few basics but it realy deserves 5 stars!!! if i can do it am adult can do it!!!trust me it is an awsome book.

Ready, Set, Crochet is a great reference book

I found this book to be a great reference not only for the basic crochet stitches, but also for some more interesting and advanced stitches. It even has a little library of stitches with instructions and photos. Additionally, each section "lesson" has a project that uses that stitch or skill, for example a hat to learn both crocheting in rounds and the bobble stitch. The spiral wire binding and fold-up stand are also neat features. The photos are very good and help understanding the instruction. I highly recommend this book for both beginners and more advanced crocheters.

Stunning designs

This book made me want to crochet more (if that is possible). I love the stand up book, makes it so much easier to use and the colors and designs are great.

Simple Directions and Lovely Projects

I had attempted to crochet several times after having been an obsessive knitter, but have always gotten frustrated with learning on my own. On a whim I got this book, and within 15 mins had a pretty good-sized crochet sample that was neat and contained several different stitches. For such a small book there are very detailed instructions for beginner crocheters for many stitch variations and projects. The directions are so crystal clear that even a younger teenager would have no problems learning, and the projects are contemporary and varied. Teens and young adults would especially like some of the projects, such as a delicate lacy camisole or the beach cover-up. I crocheted a square variation on the cat bed which my cat adores. The example pictures use yarns with shimmer and contrasting colors so the stitches really stand out, a solution to an annoying problem I have had with many knitting and crochet books. As an added bonus, the book has a trifold so you can stand it up and look at it as you crochet.
