Crochet Techniques & Tips

Everything was explained, clear visuals and all around good instructional crochet book! The colored pictures were very helpful and the book is spiral which is a major plus to follow when your hands are busy! Not one thing was forgotten from yarn, crochet hooks, tension and the best instructions ever— great for a beginner like me!!! Don’t hesitate to buy this book! 👍

Nicely detailed. Teaches how to count stitches, how to hold hook and several crochet stitches with nice color pictures. Love the book..

This tutorial is really easy to read and follow. I just started trying to crochet again after not doing anything for years, so I felt like a refresher would be helpful. This book is it! The pictures are clean and crisp, the writing in concise and easy to understand. It has a variety of stitches, along with edging and joining techniques. I like the spiral binding, that allows the book to lie flat or be folded to one page for space saving. The pages are a thicker, glossier type paper that I think will hold up well to lots of use. I think this is a great book for beginners and a nice book for those wishing to refresh their skills, as well as learning a few new stitches. I am very glad I made the purchase.

I guess you get what you pay for.I think the book is decent in terms of information and directions, but the quality of the materials the book is made of is kinda subpar. Other than that, after only having it for less than 12 hours, i can now say I’m able to crochet whereas that wasn’t true prior to going through the directions in this book.So it’s served its purpose.However, while this book was enough in terms of learning and reproducing the stitches in this book, it only made me want to know so much more and with that in mind, I wish I’d invested in a stitch dictionary or something similar. It just would have been nice to even have a couple projects inside this book, but alas, there were none.I’m still waiting for the amigurumi book I ordered to arrive so i guess I’ll have to wait to learn more.I have this book 4 stars out of 5 because it served its purpose as far as helping me learn a new crafting skill, but I docked a star due to the flimsy build of this book and absence of certain information/projects (like changing yarn colors, etc etc)

My favorite how to book!! Love the actual pictures that shows stitches so clearly. The wired book lies flat and is so easy ti use. Hope they will have more books Would love to have one on Mosiac crochet!

Its a simple and good thin book with large pictures to show you how to begin. I practiced the basic stitch and then when my brain memorized it I went on to the second and thord one. I do not understand why the stitches are named the way they are but it seems to me co fusing, because you would think that for a double stitch, you jump two loops or stiches but this isn't so. I guess its an American thing. Im jist a beginner and do not know mich bit this is a good starter book. Buy some yarn at the dollar tree and a few basic crochet hooks from a craft store. I have three. A 4mm and a slightly thocker one and then a 6mm I think. I prefer the 4 size. It depends on the thickness of the yarn you use. Anyway, this is a good starter book. I am still not a pro but I can stictch a scarf if I wanted to.

I am very excited to learn crochet. This book just perfect, easy to understand even English is my second language, every explanation is simple and understandable. Thank you . I’m recommending this book .

I returned it because it seemed too basic. It has helpful information about yarn and hook sizes and the instructions look easy to follow. It's also very short but the color photos are nice and it is priced well.
