Editorial Reviews

From Booklist
This book is not so much a complete course in crocheting as it is an excellent reference for new and experienced stitchers. There are no patterns or designs to follow, simply a top-notch series of instructions about starting and specific stitches. This Italian import is not organized in any logical way; Irish lace motifs, like the Lancelot leaf and the eight-petal flower, for example, are discussed separately from each other with nary a cross-reference--a bit disconcerting, if not frustrating. However, the directions and full-color photographic details are truly spectacular; ideas such as ribbon borders and interlocking rings, among others, are not necessarily incorporated in other how-to books. For any age, any level. Barbara Jacobs

A must have reference!5
What a wonderful book! Whether you're a new crocheter or one with a lot of experience, this book is FABULOUS!!! Not only does it contain instructions -- clear, concise instructions -- on how to do just about every stitch and motif imaginable, but there are PICTURES every step of the way! That's right, COLOR pictures!! If you're like me and occasionally find even the clearest of written instructions to be cryptic and need a picture for clarification, then this book is perfect!

Fabulous.... one of the best books I have found on crochet5
it covers all the basics and then tons of stitches so you can go off and create on your own or just trim a project. Definately the one to get if you are starting out as they give great explainations and pictures to learn from. This is one of the two I always recommend to crocheters as a fundamental to have.... the other is the crochet stitch bible.

Very close-up pictures!!!5
I have crocheted for over 30 years and there is some steps that I have never heard of--working with beading, jacquard, and more. The best part is that has close-up pictures of every step.
