Between this book and the I Can't Believe I'm Crocheting dvd I learned to crochet. Originally I signed up for a class that only confused and discouraged me but this book set me back onto the path of successfully and not confusing crochet!
While I had learned the actual stitches from the dvd this book slowly and patiently showed me where each stitch goes with great illustrations highlighting the specific stitch. There is information given on yarn, gauge, tools, the stitches and the projects of course.
In most craft books there are always a few duds in the projects but this book had great projects that I actually wanted to make and use. I'm still trying to make a perfect flower and master the granny square but I've basically made everything in the book already!
I would highly suggest this to anyone that wants to learn to crochet. The instructions are simple and easy to follow, the projects are fun and it comes with all the tools you need to get started in the kit!

My Mom gave me h=this book on my birthday. at that time I could knit pretty well, but crocheting proved to be a challenge. Eventually I gave up. Recently I have decided to try crocheting again. But knitting is still my favorite out of the two....
This book, like the knitting book, is a good place to stare for beginners. However, crocheting is harder than knitting, so don't get frustrated if you don't pick it up very fast.

Great book! I taught myself to crochet using only this book and one or two pointers from a friend. Very helpful and with great drawings and tools. My only problem is that it doesn't teach enough about how to read real-life patterns and what to look for when buying supplies (such as yarn and hooks). Overall, though, great! Best crochet book I have ever seen out of all the ones I've looked at.

Once again, Klutz manages to break down crafting in a way that is fun and easy to follow. The book is easy to follow and the illustrations are very clear. Now, I think I like crocheting even more than I like knitting.

I taught myself to crochet with this book and I'm left-handed. It's mostly right-handed but showed how to hold the hook and yarn left-handed. I still refer to it. Great simple projects.
