The Crochet Answer Book, 2nd Edition: Solutions to Every Problem You’ll Ever Face; Answers to Every Question You’ll Ever Ask

If you are a crocheter, you probably have some questions. The Crochet Answer Book has answers! Although small (pocket-sized), this book is exhaustive, a resource you’ll love having in your workbasket. Every conceivable topic is covered, including hooks and other tools, yarns, foundation chains, stitches, gauge, patterns, shapes, fabric, color, borders, and finishing. Different types of crochet, like Tunisian, double-ended, or free-form, are also addressed, and an extensive appendix explains standard abbreviations, terms, body measurements and sizing, and more. It is written in a conversational question-and-answer format, with lots of helpful diagrams and excellent explanations. While it is not written for the beginner per se, the authors helpfully offer a primer that directs those just starting out to various sections of the book that explain all the basics, and which then lead to much more sophisticated steps, which more advanced crocheters will appreciate. Reading through this book will give you a comprehensive course in this fun craft, and you will turn to it again and again, whether you want to make buttonholes or adjust the length of a sleeve, or just forget what it means to sl st (slip stitch). This handy little book is essential for anyone who loves to crochet!
