THE Crochet Bible. Any stiches you need/want to learn, provided in three different ways: A photograph of a swatch of the pattern, written instructions AND a symbol pattern for every. Single. Stich. Every page has a key at the bottom, reminding you what symbol represents which stich, there is an illustrated basic stitch tutorial at the beginning of the book, and beautiful edging techniques in the back. (and tunisian crochet!). I could never have learned to follow patterns (or to shake my intimidation of following patterns) without this book. I've been using this book since I was a beginning crocheter, and after all these years I haven't outgrown it yet; I still use it so regularly the spine and pages are (too) lovingly worn.

Absolutely LOVE this book! Love how there are so many patterns, great descriptions and instructions are wonderful. I constantly check this out from the library and need to buy my own!

I enjoyed this book as I found a lot of stitches I didn't know and on cold dreary days it was just fun to sit down and practice doing them! As good as a crossword puzzle, Sudoku puzzle...and educational!

A tremendously valuable book of different crochet stitches and the fabric they create.

I've used it as a resource for several original designs already. Its definitely a go to book for inspiration.

I won't subtract this from the rating but I do wish that a white background had been used for some of the swatches. Especially in the textured stitch section. Black was definitely suitable for others but not all.

This is a decent stitch dictionary, full of options when you want to try something new. A good book to have in your crochet library.
