Comments From Other Readers “I just started crocheting this year, and purchased a number of books. This one turned out to be the best beginner book of all of them. There are some patterns that I'm not ready to make, but the ones I did make were very easy to understand, and turned out quite well. Fun, fresh and varied, these patterns are fun to do, easy to modify and make your own, and make a gift-quality product with little or no experience. I highly recommend it.” - Cathy (Maine, US)
“This is just the type of book I like. I read the Part I already, and so I was excited for the Part II of the series. It has a little bit of everything and the projects lend themselves so wonderfully to the home. I like to crochet gifts for friends and family and this certainly has quite a collection for me to do that. So many projects are so do-able. The author’s instructions are clear and concise and use of color is beautiful. I can't even choose a favorite. It's all good. I recommend this book for any level crocheter. You are bound to find several patterns you love.” - Erin (Texas, US)

The cover of the book shows balls of crochet thread. Judging by the pictures, the patterns are clearly using various yarns but none of the patterns specifies what weight yarn is used. They tell you how many balls of yarn are used but not what size those balls should be.
Gives an intro at the beginning in case you are new to crochet (slip knot, chain, sl st, sc, hdc, etc). Were I new to crochet, I think that would benefit from pictures, but this didn't say it was an intro book, so probably not necessary. Maybe they reviewed these in detail in Part I. I knew these stitches already, so it's moot. The projects are varied and set up nicely. There's a picture at the beginning (for most) and a materials list, as with all good patterns. Handy to have on the kindle instead of printing out a pattern.
For some inexplicable reason the author doesn't give what weight yarn or what size balls for the various patterns. As a long-time crocheter I can make an educated guess that she's talking about worsted weight and 3 1/2 balls. This booklet isn't entirely intended for beginner's, but it would totally confuse and frustrate one trying to use it.
