Outstanding for beginners AND pros! March 27, 2008
My Mom was using this with my girls, and she has crocheted for decades. She was very impressed and said she learned a few things herself. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. We use it for birthday gifts now for girls 8 and older. Everyone has loved it.
Perfect for Beginners! March 4, 2008
I'm 27 and very pleased with this wonderful crochet book from KLUTZ. The instructions are very easy and the projects are cute and perfect for any beginner. I especially love the hat. Everyone in my family wants one and I'm busy working on it!:) I was so pleased with this book that I ordered the knitting book from KLUTZ as well. I enjoyed the projects in this book a little more and the yarn that comes with this book is very beautiful. After you have done all the projects in this book you will feel ready for more challenging projects! Get ready to get HOOKED!
The best book for beginners February 10, 2008
I have own a couple of crochet books for beginners and this one is the best one I've had. It was real clear and simple. I think if I can do it, everybody can do it too. This book is highly recommended. Enjoy.
The best book for beginner crochet! December 26, 2007
As far as crochet is concerned, I consider myself an intermediate beginner. Badly written patterns still frustrate me, and there are a few crochet books that I wouldn't mind burning with great glee. This Klutz book is actually the fourth "beginner" crochet book I got... but I really wish it had been the first. It would have saved me a lot of frustration!
I got this kit for Christmas, and started working on the projects right away. To my great delight, the instructions were so simple and very easy to follow. I love the diagrams with the highlighted stitches, so you know exactly where to put your hook for the next stitch. Each step of each project is written out and/or illustrated clearly. When I've followed other patterns, I usually have to rip out a whole round or row of stitches because the unclear instructions made me guess at where to put my hook. While doing these projects, I didn't have to rip anything out!
By the evening, I'd already learned how to do a granny square, crochet a cute little flower... and I'd even completed the whole hat! Granted, I have some experience with crochet so I'm probably a little faster than a true beginner. But I was thrilled with how the patterns turned out and that I didn't have to undo a whole bunch of stitches because the pattern wasn't clear enough.
The kit itself is pretty cute, and makes a great gift. There is quite a bit of yarn (three skeins of the teal stuff and one skein of the lighter-weight periwinkle). I wouldn't mind finding out where to get more of it, because it looks quite nice when it's all crocheted into a project.
Now, if only I could find a book with similar clear instructions to take my skills to the next level...
Finally, I can crochet October 8, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Since I taught myself how to knit from a book, I thought it would be simple to do the same with crochet. I've tried a few crochet books and websites without success.
This book was the winner. The illustrations are the best I've found in any how-to-crochet book. The colors helped me see what the yarn is doing and the written instructions were very clear.
The projects shown have a good variety, especially considering that this is a short book (there are several packed in here but nothing is sacrificed in terms of instruction). I think that everything I need is here, from basic chains to granny squares.
Since I'm experienced with buying yarn and other supplies, I can also say that the book is a good bargain. You get three nice sized hanks of pretty, quality yarn, a good crochet needle, stitch markers, a yarn needle (for sewing in loose ends), a button for one of the projects and a nice case for your supplies... plus the book.
I've completed one project immediately after reading the book and, although I'm taking a crochet break to concentrate on knitting some gifts, I plan on coming back to this book often. It will be my primary reference for crochet.
