500 Crochet Stitches is both a stitch guide and a how-to-crochet primer, all in one volume. You get all the information needed to get started, including how to choose yarn and needles, read patterns, work basic stitches, how to check gauge, increase and decrease, join pieces and finish projects and care for your crochet items. The comprehensive pattern library includes 500 crochet stitches, including basic stitches using single and double crochet, trebles, and some new techniques to get the fabric you want for that special sweater or hat. Lace and openwork stitches are a starting point for exploring the airy shawls, and afghans crochet is famous for. Use one of the many motifs to create an heirloom blanket, or mix and match motifs to create a truly unique piece. There are also edgings and trims you can use on your crochet and other projects, including sewn items and knitted ones. Each is fully explained with instructions and accompanied by a full-color photo of a sample crocheted swatch. All swatches are worked in updated yarns, beautifully photographed and accompanied by easy-to-follow instructions. Based on The Harmony Guides , which have been a longstanding and valued reference for handcrafters for more than thirty years, with over half a million worldwide sales, this edition is updated with eye-catching photography and innovative new stitches, but also never forgetting the heritage of the guides. Review: Superb book for techniques. - Really love this book. Initially borrowed it as a library book and liked it so much that decided to purchase a copy. It's a must for the intermediate and experienced hooker, but is also good for the absolute beginner. I love the way each stitch is clearly explained alongside a photograph and a symbols chart. Often books tend to have just the written information or the chart. This has both and is therefore very clear. Would definitely recommend it. I have several crochet books but this is the one I most frequently return to for techniques. Review: amazing book - so very happy with this book not just written info but pictures too. I would say a must for beginner or experienced crocheter. this is going to be my go bible I totally love it . written well, so you understand how to do these stitches with pictures of the stitched swatch and the chart too.

VERY useful references.
Never really sure about books unseen and how helpful they will be BUT as an intermediate crocheter this book has LOADS of really good stitches and clear pictures/written patterns. Is in US crochet terminology. A book I will use often.

Best complilation of complete crochet
This book has an exceptional compilation of crochet stitches,motifs( granny squares,triangles,circles,hexagons) and one of a kind borders.I have not come across such varied ,practical and beautiful trimmings till now.When the book says 500 crochet stitches,it includes all the above.There are many stitches ideal for sweaters as they will make solid fabrics.and some more that are a bit loose and wavy.There are both charts and written explanations,and the author keeps on giving little tit bits of advice in caption boxes.I have been a huge fan of betty bernard,but this book is as thorough as hers is. Exceptionally glad to have found this book in India. Thanks a lot to Amazon for making world one place to live in the true sense!

If you crochet, you need this book.
I am loving this book. I teach crochet and this book is so easy to read. Definitely worth the money. In addition to the 500 patterns in the book, you get clear instructions for everything from how to hold a hook to how to make the basic stitches needed to forming the patterns shown in the book. From the start the book covers tools and equipment all the way to edging to make your work stand out. The book is filled with tons of information that is completely relevant to the craft of crocheting. It’s useful whether you are a seasoned crocheter or just starting out. I have shown a few pages of the book so you can decide if it’s right for you.
