Even if you’ve never crocheted before, this book is great for learning all the basics of crochet. The first 23 pages are all step-by-step instructions of everything from the anatomy of a hook, to how to stiffen your projects, and about what thread to use.

I love the wide variety of patterns from four unique edgings, a lacy scarf, two shawls, three doilies, coasters, a lovely table runner with placemats, sachets and a caplet. The caplet pattern caught my eye and I would love to work it up right now; it's so light and gorgeous looking. The sachets are quiet lovely, too. If you love lace and elegance then this book is for you!
Even if you already know that basics of crochet you’ll find more exquisite projects to test your skills. The projects range from beginner to intermediate. Each project also lists the exact yarn used. So grab your thread and steel hook and let's learn to crochet with thread. These would make some beautiful projects for yourself or some wonderful gifts for a friend.
