Crochet for Beginners who want to Improve

Crochet for Beginners who want to Improve

by Ali Campbell

It's so true that after learning to crochet from the beginners books

you sort of just get left.

You muddle your way through and learn what you can yourself.

Well now there is an ideal book for you.

Ali uses all her knowledge to put together 10 projects

that will help you on your learning journey.

Each project has hints and tips for you to be able to use lots of different methods.

1. Chunky Headband
2. A "Classic" Beanie Hat
3. Warming Chunky Socks
4. A Classic Granny Square
5. A Granny Square with Colour changes
6. "Variations" Granny Triangles & Rectangles
7. Joining Methods
8. Personal Organiser Cover including colour changes in rows
9. Colour Changes in rounds
10. Tin Can Crochet Covers

Ali also includes a top tips at the end.

There are clear pictures throughout and Ali has a fantastic method of

putting information in different colours so you can easily 

see the must know information:

All tips, tricks of the trade & cheats will be in GREEN, as Green is

for GO. All abbreviations will be explained, longhand, in

AMBER when first used in a pattern as this will help you to

recognise them & WARNINGS will be in RED as Red is for

STOP, so STOP & do what it says!!

The projects are fun and diverse and a good mix to get you going.

Ali also explains how to read charts which is a must have skill

that quite a lot of people miss out on - including myself.

Ali choose to make most of the projects with 

a nice chunky wool & a 6mm hook.

This makes it easier to see what you are doing

and understand the stitches better. 

I also love the way Ali has the book 

in both UK Terminology and US Terminology.

This way what ever terminology you are learning by

you are covered.

This is something that quite a lot of crocheters forget - including myself.

I would say that even crocheters who have been crocheting for a while

would get something from this book.

They are interesting projects to make

and there always tips and techniques that you haven't heard of.

This book is a fantastic solutions for many crocheters

who feel they've been left in limbo after

learning the basics.
