I thought I'd give Tracey Todhunter's The Step-by-Step Guide to 200 Crochet Stitches a try when I found it available on Netgalley. I've always been a knitter, first and foremost, but have taken on learning basic crochet when a particular project jumped out at me and made me say "I have to make that!"
The book is beautifully put together from the colours standing out against the white background to the easy to read charts. (The charts gave me shudders at first as I've never tackled charted crochet before but within a few rows, I was reading the charts more than the written instructions.) It didn't take long to want to make everything so I picked up some contrasting yarn and randomly picked three. Pictures are below.
Todhunter's guide is a great addition to any craft library. Comprehensive and colourful and one you'll be picking up over and over.
35 Embossed Shells
107 Honeycomb
187 Flower Garden
I received a copy from Netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion.
