The New Crochet Stitch Dictionary: 440 Patterns for Textures, Shells, Bobbles, Lace, Cables, Chevrons, Edgings, Granny Squares, and More Paperback – May 1, 2021

Wonderful book, well written and in great condition. Thank you very much.

This is my favorite crochet stitch book. It took me a bit to learn how to read the stitch chart but once I understood how to read the charts, I found them easier to follow than other books that show photos of hooks and yarn. It includes stitches for a variety of projects from ripple blankets to clothing and accessories. I appreciate that it includes instructions for granny squares and borders as well as basic stitches and open work designs. A must have for those who like to design their own blankets, sweaters and accessories.

Amazing assortment of stitches. True it does give instructions via charts but charts are easy to learn if you go to Utube

If you are a crocheter you need this. This comes with all the basic stitches and is a crochet stitch dictionary for patterns. Great gift from my husband.

I want to give this 5 stars but I can’t. The instructions are in diagrams only and not always clear. The pictures are labeled as rows 1, 2, etc. but they’re not clear on which side it should be going. While I appreciate the chart key to remind you of what each stitch is and how to do it, the instructions on the individual stitches reminds me of someone who has never taught crochet before. There is also a weird section in the “edging and border” section. There are some very pretty edges shown but there’s nothing to say how to turn corners. If it doesn’t have a corner, what is the purpose? I highly recommend practicing the stitches.I’m an intermediate crocheter, I don’t recommend this book for beginners.There are 440 patterns.

So many beautiful patterns -- they made me fall in love wirh crocheting all over again. The designs are charted, but there are written directions for special stitches in the patterns. The designs range from easier to complex, some are multicolored, and all are accompanied by lovely clear photos. Definitely a book worth adding to a crafter's library.

The only stitch dictionary book you will ever need! I ran out of Post-it flags when I was marking all the stitches I wanted to try lol

I’m learning how to crochet and this book is beautifully done with large, colorful pictures of patterns and detailed instructions. I had borrowed it from the library and immediately knew I wanted to own it.
