About the Author
When I was teaching myself how to crochet one of the things I had a problem with was remembering the exact steps to produce each different stitch. I had to keep flicking through the library book pages to find the instructions, then flick back to the project pattern that I was trying to follow, all whilst holding my crochet hook and yarn at the same time. This is where having the instructions to hand on your Kindle can make life a lot easier; you don’t have to thumb backwards and forwards through loads of pages – you can simply go to the Table of Contents and click through to find the instructions for each particular stitch.
Book Review
My grandmother taught me the basics of crochet and now I wanted to teach my grand daughter. After looking at several guides, I found Sarah Taylor’s book quite useful. She teaches you the basic stitches as well as how to create the Magic Ring (or loop). Her explanation of increasing and decreasing stitches is also very helpful. The instructions and diagrams are very clear and very easy to follow, even for a newbie. As a bonus, it was nice to also have some basic patterns I could use right away.
