Crochet Over 130 Techniques and Stitches by DK
Starts with a table of contents where instructional chapters are listed and then items to make are broken down into categories.
Intro talks about how the book is made for all different levels and what is included inside the book.
I am always looking for a different idea to use to make charity afghans for the agencies I volunteer for.
Like how you can use their pattern but a different thickness of yarn and they tell you how to achieve the finished item.
Love how different yarns are explained with pictures and icons displaying what is on a typical label.
Yarns, hooks, accessories, techniques where they show you with pictures and contrast colors of yarn,
basic stitches are shown. Examples of what is being discussed then moves into the projects themselves.
Each patterns starts with a title, summary of the item and stitches used. Hook size, notions and tension/gauge is also given along with yarn and amounts.
Finished size is given and pattern is easy to follow and understand. Level of difficulty is also shown at top right hand corner and tab on page turning side is given a color for expertise level.
Pictures of how to work the stitches is also shown on next pages.
I like the beginner ideas because they make good gifts.
Other techniques are also discussed along with further projects moving up a level.
Projects for baby, child, women and men. Like scarf and hat section the best.
Love sample stitch patterns because they NOT only show you the finished piece, charted piece and written rows of how to make it.
Glossary is included at the end along with crochet terminology. An index, acknowledgements, about the consultant are also included.
X reference book for your library!
A KEEPER!
Received this review copy from DK via NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.
