From the cover alone, I knew this was going to be a great book with amazing graphics; it looks very artsy. Just by skimming the book you can see large, colorful photos that truly tell you how your project should turn out. Each project provides materials, size, stitches used and skill level. There are over 250 colorful photos, 80 stitches and 20 original designs to choose from.
 

In this book you will find projects that use textured stitches, simple lace stitches, composites and more. Crochet! starts out showing you all the tools, different kinds of yarns and techniques you'll need to know. It then transitions into all the abbreviations used in the projects. What's really neat about this book is that it explains what each of the yarn fibers are so you know what you're working with. From Merino Wool to Cashmere to Silk and Linen, it has it all.
 

Among the patterns in this book you will find something for everyone: Crochet Brooches, crochet scarves, pillows, jackets, baby booties, purses and more! Each pattern is just as delicate and pretty as the next.
 

This sophisticated book deals with all different stitches, techniques and designs for the modern chic crocheter.
