Synopsis: This fresh, fun guide from expert Dora Ohrenstein
covers all of the basic crochet techniques and so much more, from choosing
yarns to finishing! It includes more than 70 stitch-along swatches that each
teach a particular technique, as well as five projects (a hat, shawl, neck
warmer, bag, and scarf) that put those techniques to use. The swatches offer
not just a variety of stitch patterns but also a variety of shapes and can
serve as the building blocks for sophisticated and creative projects of your
own design.
My Review: I
received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This is a great workbook for fellow crochet enthusiasts to
brush up on their skills. Whether you are a beginner crocheter, or an advanced
hooker who’s been at it for decades, I can’t see anyone not taking something
useful away from this book. From
brushing up on the absolute basics, like how hook size and yarn choice affects
drape, to different, possibly new to the reader, stitches, this book has something
for everyone. It goes from the absolute basic, to the more advanced levels.
The reader really shouldn’t try to skip around, like I did.
Each lesson builds upon the previous one, and the reader can only find
themselves a better crocheter for being patient and going through the whole
book, one page at a time. This truly is an excellent crocheting workshop meant
to broaden our horizons as yarn enthusiasts and crocheters.
