​This was a really well set out book of crochet stitches. I loved the 'Directory of Stitches' at the beginning with a small square photo of the stitch underneath. You could just scan through the list and decide on which stitch you wanted. It was set out in sections, i.e. fans and shells, spike stitches, etc., very handy.

There were very clear sections on how to read the patterns and charts with lots of lovely pictures of finished stitches. The layout was very clear, either one or a couple of different stitches on each page with a clear photo and instructions in both text and chart underneath. Also useful sections on different techniques and equipment at the end.

I was very impressed, a lot of work has gone into thinking about the layout of this book to make it as easy to read as possible. In my opinion it's an essential book to add to your crochet library, and it's definitely an addition to mine!

The Step-by-Step Guide to 200 Crochet Stitches by Tracey Todhunter
This book is an excellent guide for beginner crocheters. The large pictures and easy to follow step by step directions make this an excellent resource for both the beginner and advanced crocheter. I can not recommend this book enough.

Great reference book for beginner and experienced crocheters. Pictures are very clear as is the accompanying written details. In addition, the explanation of how to read a pattern and chart is invaluable as some patterns now only provide a chart without any accompanying written direction. Ability to read a chart in invaluable when in doubt as to your correct progression in the pattern.

I am not an expert crocheter by any means however I am also not a beginner. I have mastered the basic stitches but have always had difficulty learning the more intricate stitches mainly due to the lack of visuals and my poor attempts at trying to understand the meanings of symbols. So I essentially would give up, with the hopes one day someone would show me. This book is simple in its idea but opened a whole new world of crochet stitches to me, and enlightened me to the meanings of those pesky symbols. Each stitch is plainly explained with a picture, or many for some of the truly intricate ones. So easy to follow, as soon as I mastered one I wanted to move onto the next without pause. I was lucky enough to receive an advanced copy, and will definitely be buying a copy for myself. Wonderful!

As an experience crocheter I was absolutely thrilled with this book. The stitches are suitable for beginners right through to the more experienced. Each stitch is clearly described and the instructions are easy to follow.

The picture are brilliantly clear too

200:stitches which would be suitable for blankets right through to a delicate shawl .....the patterns are only for the stitches but they are so clear it’s easy to see how they could be used.

I will definitely be referring to this often
