I have to tell you that you really really need to check out this book!!! It isn't just a normal stitches book, it's so much more! The book is ideal for any level of crocheter as it goes through each stitch step by step with pictures to help beginners. There is a full stitch guide for all the stitches used in the book. Not only does it give you patterns it also give you loads of other ideas. It shows you how the design can change with buttons, cross-stitch etc. to give it a completely different look. There are loads of new and interesting different designs. Each has such a different personality. Each of the patterns is in written and graph format. They are clear and easy to understand. Not only do you get all the different stitches you also get 5 different projects to use some of the stitches with. They are fantastic projects that really gets you thinking about how you can use the different stitches. I love how each of the designs is completely different to the next. Loads of different colour scheme ideas are used. You will be amazed by the difference in each of them.
