The best way to describe this book is invaluable! There is so much left I have to learn about crochet and this book is helping me on my way. This book is designed to take you step-by-step in different techniques and stitches so that you can learn them. The pictures are amazingly clear and really do take you through step-by-step. Everyone from a beginner upwards has something that they can learn from this book. If you are a beginner then this book really is invaluable. It takes you through the different ways you can hold your hook to how to get started. It takes you through each of the basic stitches you will need and then takes you through

everything from increasing to decreasing. This is a project book this book is purely to learn to crochet, learn different stitches and techniques to help support you on your crochet journey. An amazing array of stitches are covered. Everything from a single crochet to a puff stitch. Or why not try a raised treble rib. Once you have learnt numerous stitches you can then learn how to crochet with beads and sequins. How about learning broomstick crochet or entrelac crochet. Then we move onto filet crochet and hairpin lace. I love the section of Irish crochet. It makes it so easy to follow and a scary technique look so easy. The book even takes you through learning tunisian crochet. The other amazing thing in the book is using crochet to create buttons, buttons holes and button loops. I haven't covered everything in the book as there is just so much packed in! I think this really is an invaluable book for any crocheter!
