Crochet 101 Master Basic Skills Easily through Step-by-Step Instruction by Deborah Burger
I am a published crochet designer and have done work for yarn companies and taught myself how to crochet.
Not sure at times if I'm really doing the stitches properly and second guess myself all the time.
Starts out with a table of contents where it has basics, putting it all together, traditions and abbreviations/symbols and glossary and index.
Like pictures as they start with simple things like a mug rug and talks about the basics.
Tells you what to expect and to have breaks and patience.
Diagrams are shown throughtout the book along with real photos. Chart of hook sizes and yarn weights is very informative.
Love easy project they start out with, so simple but it will build your confidence that you can do it.
Like troubleshooting tips along the way also. Stitches are explained and shown how to work them along with an easy project to do.
Each pattern has a title, summary and what you'll learn. Things you will need are listed, gauge, finished size and stitches used along with directions and tips.
Color photo preceeds the pattern.
Photographs are easy to view the item with background: colors are not to dark to see the details.
Stitches and patterns get more difficult as the book goes along and you should be able to follow it. Even reading a pattern by charts.
Love that there are so many projects to make, useful and practical for every home.
Hooded scarf would be my first project as I make things for the homeless and that is one thing they can use in the winter cold months.
Book finishes off with author bio and so many resouces of information.
A KEEPER!
Received this review copy from Quarto Publishing Group – Quarry via Netgalley and this is my honest opinion.
