Learn to Crochet Easily with Step-by-Step Visual Guide - Perfect for Beginners, DIY Projects, and Handmade Gifts

As mentioned in my title, this book is all of that and more. I would consider myself a very good beginner, or moderate intermediate level in crocheting and knitting.Many times I will have forgotten how to make the proper stitches, or where to turn the row without creating excess bulk or uneven lines. This especially holds true if I’ve put my yarn away for a season or two.I like to have a book to come back to for use as a quick reference guide, and with that being said, I am a visual learner so tutorial books such as this one is perfect for me.Authors loose me with too much wording.Additionally, the authors in the book will use a contrast color yarn to enhance the image of exactly what needs to be done within the stitch and exactly where.There are arrows which indicate which way your hook should follow so that you can make the stitch look like it’s supposed to look.The nice thing about crochet is that it typically “knits” fast and it’s super easy to rip back your mistakes. Yes, it’s not a fun thing to do after countless hours of work on your project, but it is a necessary step in making your project look the way it’s supposed to look (1) and it’s a learning process (2). 98% of my rows are even now simply by learning where I needed to place the next stitch before or after turning a row.Also very critical is knowing not to include the chain you have on your hook as a Stich and the Slip Knot, of course.This book is perfect on the most elementary levels, and can teach you all the way to an intermediate and some advanced levels.It’s very detailed (which I need) and rich in color.So, whether you purchase the E-version or the hard copy, you won’t go wrong.I highly recommend this book to any new beginner and one such as myself whom needs a little guidance after putting yarn to the side for a bit.
