Crochet Techniques & Tips

I really like this book. I decided to learn to crochet on vacation and took this on the airplane with me with a bit of practice yarn and some hooks. The illustrations are nice and i think do a good job explaining the different stitches. I spent maybe 4hrs on it and learned all the basic stitches. I'm going to try the pompom one next because it looks cool. Only downside is the book smells like chemicals, so it needs an air out for sure. For size, it's a little larger than normal paper, but pretty thin. I like the spiral binding to make it easy to flip between pages. Looking to buy another one of their books so I don't need internet to learn patterns

As a beginning crocheter, I needed the absolute basics. this book was it! I’ve been crocheting for about 6 weeks and this book was instrumental for me not only acquiring the basics, but also as a guide that I frequently refer to when starting a new project. I like how the book breaks it down by stitch and gives very clear pictures of each step. I now keep it in the drawer next to me when I’m crocheting in the evenings. This book plus watching some YouTube videos was all I needed to get started. I am already on my 3rd project and this book has been a huge help! I highly recommend this book to anyone new to crochet or even those that are more advanced that want a good picture glossary of all the main stitches. The book is nice quality too. This glossy pages and spiral bound so it will stand up to some wear. Could make a cute gift too with some yarn and some hooks!

I decided to take up crochet. While there are tons of videos out there, and some have been helpful, I'm old school and like a book. This book is AWESOME!! It takes a lot of practice; it's been 3 weeks and I finally can make rows using a single crochet stitch that are even. If you follow the instructions in this book, you'll get there. This book covers everything: from yarn/hooks/tools to all of the different types of crochet techniques. I bought 2 books originally and returned the other as this one has been so easy to follow. Once I've mastered my techniques, I'll probably buy their other book that teaches you how to crochet actual projects.

The pictures are excellent showing stitches clearly. Easy to follow instructions. Good for beginners as well as others who have some experience crocheting.

I had purchased two books from this company. This was my first. And all of it is essentially added to my other granny square book. This book arrived perfectly. My other one did not. Both positive and negative reviews are accurate. It’s a crap shoot that it will arrive w/unbended pages, pages right side up and in order. Printing is accurate. Colors and pictures are great. Info is perfect for beginner. Would purchase again. Good quality. Pages easily turn. All the basics for brand new beginner. Used a lot. Would be great to add in with a gift.

Love this book. Allows me to quickly review stitches, etc. I have not used in a while. And, presents the "how-to" in a concise, understandable manner.

Good book for beginners! Very good. A good book for referencing and direction for making crochet stitches. After 60 years of crocheting and knitting my books are either falling apart or lost, this book will replace some of them. I thought it was pricey for the 64 pages it has BUT the spiral spine, color picture, large print and the grade of paper will ensure this book will last a long time. It's a well made book. Highly recommended.

Great pictures and instructions. Good price and quality.

I learnt a lot from this special crochet book. The various patterns are very practical, popular interesting

I'm a beginner with crocheting and this is really a great book with simple steps to follow. Most importantly, the binding is so smart and it makes it so easy to read while practising at the same time. I do not have to constantly worry about keeping the book open. Highly recommended.

Chegou no tempo estipulado, em bom estado.

This spiral bound & soft cover stitch book has plenty of very useful and good quality photos of each stitch, so even a beginner can follow easily and with confidence. The spiral design is handy. The page design is well thought out, with each stitch illustrated on facing pages - so no flipping to get to next step - with clear and simple explanations. Author also made a point of using yarn colours that make following the creation of the stitch very simple. The table of contents shown in the ad makes it clear that this book does not contain the more complicated and less used stitches so you'll have to look elsewhere for those. However, the most frequently used stitches in afghans, sweaters, dishcloths, tea cosy's, etc. are here for fast and convenient reference. Also covers other basics like changing colours, fastening off, and finishing & edging. This would make a terrific and inexpensive stocking stuffing for a budding crafter or even an old gal like me that's forgotten some of these stiches.

A lovely book for those starting out in crochet . It goes over the basics such as equipment needed ,most used crochet stitches , increasing and decreasing, showing you what the stitches look like etc in clear well written instructions with good pictures.
