Crochet 101 by Deborah Burger

Crochet 101: Master Basic Skills Easily through Step-by-Step Instruction by [Burger, Deborah]

Here is the book summary:
Written with the absolute beginner in mind, this engaging book teaches all the basics for learning to crochet with step-by-step instructions and photographs. Crocheting skills are learned by working on projects, beginning with something very easy and getting progressively more difficult as the reader works through the book. New skills are explored in depth as they are introduced. The introductory section covers all the basics of crochet-selecting yarn, hook types and sizes, other tools and accessories, crochet gauge, chaining, forming the basic stitches, reading patterns-making this the most comprehensive beginner’s book available. The online video tutorials created to supplement this book are an additional learning tool demonstrating the essential techniques used in crochet.

And now, my review:
From picking yarn and fibers to finding the right crochet hook for you, this book has all the basics a person needs to get started and be successful with crocheting.  My favorite project was what the author called the Roll Brim Cloche which is a hat with some flowers on it.  And I loved what she called a Flower Power Retro Beanie.  It was so nice that she included “wet blocking” instructions for the Windflower Shawlette.  There are many other parts of this book as well that makes this a great book to check out for your craft library.

I received a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
