I am very disappointed in this book
15 January 2016 -
Published on Amazon.comVerified Purchase
I am very disappointed in this book. It is not user friendly at all. First, the photographs are blurry, which makes the stiches impossible to see the texture clearly and is thus rather hard to assess as to what they might look like in a project. There are several stitch patterns that are repeats of the same stitch but with a different name and they use the exact same photo. In addition to having repeats of the same stitches, as many reviewers are pointing out, most of the stitches are very close variations of each other. The basic stitches are there but more intermediate and advanced stitches are either missing or, when present, are just uninspired. Also, and this might be petty, the names for the stitches are ridiculous -- silly -- and distracting to me. And -- stitches that are traditionally called certain names, like moss or woven stitch, are given completely different (silly) names, which could confuse beginners. I don't know why the authors renamed stitches that have perfectly good and known names already. This is just confusing and annoying. There is no graphic representation of the stitches, just word descriptions. I sent the book back. The best all-around crochet stitch dictionary by far that I have found is Robin Chuchula's Crochet Stitches: Visual Encyclopedia.

It has everything that this book is lacking and much, much more.

Instructions are difficult to understand

Published on Amazon.comVerified Purchase
I bought this book to help me step up my crochet game. I've been crocheting for years but have only used the most basic of stitches. While several desirable techniques are included in the book, I found it necessary to look on the Internet for tutorials for each one as the instructions in the book were much like recipes written in a foreign language. Other than inspiration, this book offered little assistance to me.

So many beautiful crochet stitches to learn and use!
28 November 2019 -
Published on Amazon.comVerified Purchase
The book has clear pictures that show how a stitch will look. The written patterns are easy to follow and include the number of chain stitches needed for the pattern to be crocheted in full. I like that each pattern also includes the international chart for the pattern and step by step instructions of any special stitches needed.
It would be helpful if each row included the number of stitches that should be in the row so you can immediately tell where you've made a mistake. I also wish it gave a standard gage that could be used to tell how large a pattern will be once crocheted.
