It was my first book. There is lots of information -- great to learn from with soooooo many patterns to choose from. I did find a few of the instructions hard to understand as a beginner but looking up the how to on youtube helped plenty. I found the Crochet Answer Book was far more helpful --- easier to understand with a lot less content to teach the same thing. Since it is a learning book, more advanced crochet techniques would have been a real nice addition. ( )

Excellent easy to understand and fun to read crochet book with stylish patterns. In the beginning of the book, it gives a series of tools, tips, and techniques for if you are a beginner or are looking for new ways to spice up your crocheting. I definitely recommend it for people who like to crochet. ( )

Having recently set up a knitting and crochet group I thought I'd best get some inspiration for new projects. This book has some great patterns, and is also a useful reference for stitches and basic information. It's written in a fun, informal and practical style. However it seems there are many errors in the patterns... I grabbed this link from the review below for corrections: http://www.knithappens.com/snbhh-erra... Also worth re-iterating it's in US notation, though I actually prefer the US stitch names to the UK ones. ( )

A good book for someone beginning crochet or someone a little bit advanced. Check the errata before starting any projects. It's riddled with mistakes. ( )

One of the best crochet books ever! Lots of projects, lots of great instruction and you'll never get tired of the projects. You will make them over and over again! ( )
