Review of this book.
This book was fabulous! I learned so much from it. I also learned some exciting new patterns. I cannot wait to try making some afgans for my bed, as well as afgans for the beds of my family. The different patterns were really beautiful and the color schemes were also quite lovely.

Great book for beginners
This book was easy to follow and gave concise explanations of stitches and graphs and explained how to follow patterns for the very beginner. I learned a lot. I found myself returning to the book in my early crochet days. Includes patterns for blankets and instructions for developing your own patterns.

Nice read for beginners
Really liked the to the point descriptions. Illustrations and images helped in understanding the patterns. Would have been more better if there were more examples of reading graphs and patterns. Otherwise a good start for anyone.

Answers to my questions!!
This little book explained reading crochet patterns in a clear and concise way. I avoided crochet patterns because following a pattern
Was so hard to find and written in obscure language. I will avoid them no more!

Good Information
Plenty of info - concisely and easily passed on. Title gives exactly what this book contains and then gives more (some basic examples shown in pattern form, chart form, and graphic form).

Not that helpful
I can not possibly see someone who is holding a hook for the first time, developing the slightest idea of what this book is talking about.

Good book for basics and reference
Clear instructions and pictures. Could do with more on diagram patterns as I tend to do written patterns as less scary.

Not worth it
$2.99 for what you can find free on the internet. I thought it would give more in-depth info. But that didn't happen.

Good beginners book
Explanations were okay but left me asking questions in some parts. More research is needed for some of the patterns.
