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

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.

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.

Nice pictures. Many patterns. This book is not for a beginner. I am high intermediate level and used to working with both American and English patterns. This is translated from German and does not follow written directions as I am used to in English or American patterns. It does include the chart pattern. You need a basic understanding of charts to use this book. Written directions not adequate to work the pattern. Written information supports the charts. Overall this is a good resource if you have a good general knowledge of how to crochet. Worth adding to your 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.

The book is wonderful but when l opened the packet the chemical smell was very strong. The oder made me seezen my nose and eyes water . With sore throat. I had to put the book outside which solved the problem.
