63 Easy-to-Crochet Pattern Stitches

I like it a lot. It doesn't get boring, even though some things make no sense to me, but maybe I'm just not experienced enough. Some patterns are flat out wrong (looking at you #30 - eyelet lace) and some turn out trapezoidal no matter how many times I rip it out and start over (#39 - popcorn diamond).

My advice -

Buy the paper version!!! The kindle version is terrible. When I start a square, I often need to flip between the stitch guide and the instructions and the finished photo and I wish I had the paper version. Also I want to take notes in the margins.

Do the squares in order of number, not by color. They build on each other.

#30 - the problem is she only has 21 stitches in row 2, and there should be 25. There are 6 sc in the row, so for the middle 4 sc I did (2 sc) instead. It took me a lot of false starts, but that pattern worked for me.

I am doing burgundy, grey, and off-white, and the squares are turning out beautifully. I'm really excited about how this will look when complete.

I had a copy of this book years ago and when I needed it again I couldn't find it. I took a chance and found it right away on Amazon and was extatic. It's very useful. The color pictures are great and the patterns are clearly written. Each stitch pattern explains how to complete the block for the afghan shown and how to adapt it to use for larger projects. I've used several of the patterns to make projects. You won't be disappointed in this purchase!

I didn't use this to make the pictured quilt, I use it for a new stitch idea when making a new blanket so I can keep things interesting. I'm not a great crocheter, but I found the instructions easy to follow and the pictures of what the stitches look like are helpful to decide which one to try next. I haven't tried them all so IDK if they're all easy to follow or not.

We’ll done! Saving this book as reference. Made this Afghan. Going to make in other colors! Advanced beginner instructions but anyone can do it but practicing each stitch before doing the square.

So many stitches that can be used for more than this blanket. This is an excellent teaching tool fur a beginner or reference for anyone. Makes a beautiful afghan.

This book is easily understood. The illustrations are clear and make the patterns easy to see so the project can quickly be completed. The authors work is clear and precise, easily understood.

Love the availability of having all the different stitches and square patterns in one place.

It would be nice if it had pictures
