Books are a great way to learn to crochet or to learn new techniques, as well as
to have a ready reference source of answers to crochet questions. Pattern books
can be a great source of enjoyment in browsing and in crocheting new patterns you
haven't tried before. Browsing through the listings below may be helpful to you
in making a choice of books that you would enjoy owning in your home library.
Books For Beginners
Someone who has never crocheted before can learn how
to crochet from a good reference book that contains easy to follow instructions and
clear diagrams. There are several of these listed in my Top Picks (see first link below).
After teaching the very first slip knot, these books will continue with basic stitches
and move on to exciting and interesting pattern stitches that a new crocheter can learn when
ready. In these versatile books, experienced crocheters will find tips and techniques for
their skill levels, as well.
