"A comprehensive pattern library containing hundreds of different stitches written in easy-to-follow language and with a simple diagram. The patterns range from variations on the basic stitches to intricate and colourful textured fabrics. A concise clearly illustrated introductory section explains the basic techniques of crochet from start to finish, including hints and tips on how to follow a pattern."
This is a comprehensive library of crochet stitches and designs from simple starting points to more complicated pieces. The instructions are easy to follow and supported by clear ullustrations with references between the two.
This is my all-time favorite book for crochet stitches. I have used it so much that it is falling apart and have ordered and recommended it for several others who crochet. I teach a crochet class and refer to it when recommending new stitches/techniques. It is great to have so many stitches in easy-to-use pattern form at my fingertips.
