Beginner's Guide to Crochet: 20 crochet projects for beginners

Love this book. Easy to follow directions and easy to understand. The projects are cute and great for beginners. Learned so fast.

Bought this book for my granddaughter who just learned how to crochet. She was happy to receive it.

The book is good but I had trouble deciphering the patterns for some of the projects. I am not a quitter so I worked on the problem skill until I got it right. That can be frustrating for some folks.

This is the best book I've found that really explains how to start, finish a project. Pictures are excellent, very clear steps! Happy I purchased it.

The book has loads of great pictures to illustrate what it describes. Very good quality too.

Got this for my boyfriend for Christmas because he wanted to learn (it’s been one of my hobbies for the last 13 years) but the names of the stitches are wrong. The book calls a single crochet a double, a half double is a treble, and it never even defines a single. For anyone learning to crochet from this book, the instructions will cause confusion as soon as they look at any other pattern.

Love this book. Simple well explained instructions. Great selection of projects.

Exactly what I needed.

It’s a good book for beginner but in my opinion some explanation not easy to understand. Overall it’s a good purchase to learn some of the basic.

The patterns in the book are UK terminology. Good illustrations and easy to understand explanations of stitches. I’m a beginner but have crocheted from the book the neck cowl and granny square blanket. For both patterns I had to use different ( but similar) wool as I couldn’t find stockists for the wool in the book. I imagine the wools been discontinued?

Come recita il titolo del libro, consiglio l'acquisto ai principianti: i progetti sono di facile realizzazione anche se le spiegazioni a mio parere non sono organizzate in modo chiaro.

Just received this book, I've been learning since Feb on Youtube (hooked by Robin) and wanted something that had a list of different stitches that I could refer to. This book is great, it has loads of really nice things to make and explains the patterns along with the written and pictures so it improves your understanding. I've been learning US stitches so I've written over the stiches but I can't wait to get stuck into the projects they look great. The only downside is I would have liked more a page with lots of different stitches and photo examples of them so when you are creating something you can just pick which stitch you would like to use, but it's great for beginners.

Easy to read patterns.
