Ready, Set, Crochet is a great reference book November 5, 2005
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
I found this book to be a great reference not only for the basic crochet stitches, but also for some more interesting and advanced stitches. It even has a little library of stitches with instructions and photos. Additionally, each section "lesson" has a project that uses that stitch or skill, for example a hat to learn both crocheting in rounds and the bobble stitch. The spiral wire binding and fold-up stand are also neat features. The photos are very good and help understanding the instruction. I highly recommend this book for both beginners and more advanced crocheters.

This book made me want to crochet more (if that is possible). I love the stand up book, makes it so much easier to use and the colors and designs are great.
Simple Directions and Lovely Projects February 24, 2005
58 out of 58 found this review helpful
I had attempted to crochet several times after having been an obsessive knitter, but have always gotten frustrated with learning on my own. On a whim I got this book, and within 15 mins had a pretty good-sized crochet sample that was neat and contained several different stitches.
For such a small book there are very detailed instructions for beginner crocheters for many stitch variations and projects. The directions are so crystal clear that even a younger teenager would have no problems learning, and the projects are contemporary and varied. Teens and young adults would especially like some of the projects, such as a delicate lacy camisole or the beach cover-up. I crocheted a square variation on the cat bed which my cat adores. The example pictures use yarns with shimmer and contrasting colors so the stitches really stand out, a solution to an annoying problem I have had with many knitting and crochet books. As an added bonus, the book has a trifold so you can stand it up and look at it as you crochet.
