The Crochet Stitch Handbook by Betty Barnden



Here is the book summary:
The Crochet Stitch Handbook fully explains over 200 stitches. A perfect starter guide for beginners, with advanced projects and details for experts, this book is a wonderful addition to the library of any crafter, crocheter, or knitter.

The handbook includes step-by-step instructions for basic stitches, textured stitches, fans and shells stitches, mesh and filet stitches, openwork and lace stitches, trims and edgings, clusters, puffs, bobbles, spike, relief, Tunisian, multi-color, squares, and special stitches.

Crochet is the technique of making a looped fabric from a continuous length of yarn, using a single hook. The word crochet itself derives from the French croc, meaning a hook (or crook); an old Scottish name for crochet is "shepherd's knitting." It is one of the most portable and flexible of crafts, requiring only a hook and some yarn. 

Master the basic techniques of crochet, and more, to create a fascinating variety of effects with The Crochet Stitch Handbook.

And now, my review:
I found The Crochet Stitch Handbook by Betty Barnden to be an excellent book in the crochet book world.  She is thorough and helpful with a written pattern and a “picture” pattern.  My teenage daughter could not put this down.  She just kept working through more and more stitches and they were beautiful.  There is so much inspiration and ongoing options to choose from and I just can’t say enough about this book to all our friends in the crafting world.  If you’re a fellow crafter in the crocheting world, you’re going to want this physical book in your library!
I received a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review,
