Book Description
Debbie does crochet! Debbie Stoller, the “knitting superstar,” has been leading an entire movement of hip young knitters with her New York Times bestseller Stitch ’n Bitch and its follow-up, Stitch ’n Bitch Nation, together with over 521,000 copies in print. But guess what? For every one knitter in the world there are three crocheters—which translates into millions of hip, crafty, 18- to 35-year-olds ready to be happy hookers with Stitch ’n Bitch attitude, sexiness, ingenuity, and cool.
Written in the author’s cheeky chick style, this heavily illustrated book—featuring four-color photographs and instructional illustrations throughout—is chock-full of instruction, inspiration, and to-die-for designs, from a Fishnet Skullcap to a lacy evening wrap. For knitters and new crafters exploring the hook comes the primer: the advantages of crochet and the ways in which knitters (and nonknitters) benefit by learning this sister craft; a discussion of tools; all the cool yarns available, and what the different gauges mean; plus basic techniques and stitch patterns—including the chain stitch, picot, flowers, filet crochet, changing yarns, and finishing. Then come 40 fabulous, funky projects—the kind that make Stitch ’n Bitch rule—for crocheters: Pom Pom Capelet, Retro Clutch Purse, Anarchy Irony Hat, Ms. Pac Man Change Purses, Doris Daymat, Va-Va-Va Voom Bikini, Animal I-Pod Cozies, Kid’s Sock Monkey Poncho.
No, these aren’t your grandma’s doilies.

 A Great Place TO Start And Refer Back To July 13, 2008
This book taught me all of the basic stitches I use (whether ready or not) during my introduction to crochet. I refer back to it for a quick refresher or an idea for a pattern change. Well worth every cent.
i couldn't do crochet until i bought this book July 6, 2008
AWESOME I'd recommend it to anyone. Her pictures/diagrams are GREAT if you're a visual person. Such a great book, I carry it around with me
Happy Hooker and Happy buyer April 13, 2008
This is a lovely book to buy, useful information, stitch techniques and lovely patterns. I'm very happy with it.
 great book! but how do you do this? April 9, 2008
I have never actually gotten a book that i knew how to follow before! i have tried wil no success a couple times. but the only thing i dont know how to do is connect the flowers for the garden scarf. i am just going with the flow and doing whatever but i dont really know how to connect them. i imagine this stich is just as simple as the rest but i just cant get it. overall a great book! but confusing to me right here...

I bought this in the hopes that I would be able to find a useable pattern for items. for me some of the items are too off the wall. a crochet bikni? I doubt if I will be lounging by my pool in one any time soon. It does have patterns for nubie's, or a skull cap, there is a pattern for a purse, but it has tacky flowers on it, I left those off of mine. It does cover the basics on the art, and the patterns are eaily read. I have used this book 2 times and I bought it a year ago. Everyone else maybe singing it's praises, but I'm being honest. Don't let the wildness of the title lure you in. check the book out in a bookstore before purchase.
