Review by Mida
This is the BEST crochet book for beginners! With detailed breakdowns of techniques, beginner friendly projects to help you hone your skills and clear and detailed images -without any hands in the way!- this book is perfect for those looking to pick up the hobby. Almost everything for crochet is in here, and with an easy-to-navigate index, you can find your way back to any refreshers you might need. All the basic stitches are featured, and have a project to accompany them, so you can learn a stitch and then polish your technique.
One small note is that this is written with UK terminology, so those who are more familiar with US terminology might stumble a bit at the beginning but it will lead you through everything and anything that you might otherwise trip on.
This book taught me everything I need to know on how to crochet. I can’t recommend it enough!
