Crochet Books

Crocheting for Dummies by Manthey, Karen & Susan Brittain

This book is valuable for those who want basic instructions but have no previous experience. Aside from the excellent text, large, clear drawings almost make explanations unnecessary. Tips and warnings offer help when a teacher or friend is not available, and clever titles and cartoons add a bit of humor. The authors introduce crochet symbols which, in fact, eliminate the need for written instructions once the crocheter has some experience. Excellent quality of the content overrides the limited number of color photos.
