The Crochet Stitch Bible
Product ID: 87732017
The Crochet Stitch Bible contains over 200 stitches, explained in full, and is a perfect starter guide for beginners, with advanced projects and details for experts. The handy spiral bound design allows this book to be laid open on a work surface for easy reference, and makes a wonderful addition to the library of any crafter, crocheter, or knitter. This comprehensive guide includes step-by-step instructions for basic stitches, textured stitches, fans and shells stitches, mesh and filet stitches, openwork and lace stitches, trims and edgings, clusters, puffs, bobbles, spike, relief, tunisian, multi-color, squares, and special stitches. Each crochet stitch is accompanied by a photograph sample , row-by-row instructions , and easy-to-follow symbol charts . Crochet is the technique of making a looped fabric from a continuous length of yarn, using a single hook. The word "crochet" itself derives from the French "croc," meaning a hook (or crook); an old scottish name for crochet is "shepherd's knitting." It is one of the most portable and flexible of crafts, requiring only a hook and some yarn. Once you have mastered the basic techniques, you can create a fascinating variety of effects .

British Best!
Its THE book for beginners.And a great reference guide,as it has diagram/stitch charts and pictures along with written explanations.However,since this seems to be a UK publication,some stitches have different names as compared to books published from USA.Whatever be the case,this is a must have book here in India,simply because of its fair price.About a hundred stitches,their variations,granny squares,Tunisian and more!

Great little reference guide, suitable for beginner crocheters through to advanced.
Handy size (approx 7"x8"), small enough to pop in my crochet bag/basket if need be, but a comfortable size for viewing on the table next to me.I love the fact that each stitch pattern has its own chart as well as detailed instructions & includes a reference to every stitch used for that pattern on the right hand side.The sections are well organised & there is a handy basic stitch guide, including diagrams, at the front & a symbol & abbreviation guide at the back.The ring binder, which allows the book to remain open whilst laying flat is a stellar idea that should be standard for pattern books (I'm happy to pay a couple of extra dollars for this feature & rarely buy a crochet book without it).In my opinion The Crochet Stitch Bible would be a great resource for beginner crocheters, right through to experienced, as there is something for everyone.

La verdadera biblia del crochet
Este es el mejor libro de crochet para principiantes, con explicaciones detalladas, gráficos y muchas muchas fotos. En él se explican variados patrones los cuales están ordenados y clasificados claramente. No es un libro que te enseñe a hacer alguna prenda, no encontrarán nada de eso, su meta es iniciar en las técnicas y puntadas y es el mejor en eso.

My 100% favorite crochet reference. It’s the Rosetta Stone of crochet stitches.
I love this book so much. I am a lifelong knitter but only started crocheting later in life. This book essentially taught me to crochet and some of the patterns in it are things I’ve never seen in other crochet references. When my first copy of this book “walked off” after I was teaching a class, I had to get a second copy.Years ago I made a scarf for a friend using the “little arcs” pattern. When she got married, she wanted a white stole from the same pattern as well as something similar for her bridesmaids. I’ve never seen this pattern anywhere else. This book is a class ahead of all my other crochet books.
