A practical guide with actual-size swatches, charts, and instructions. 200 Crochet Stitches is designed to get crochet fans discovering new stitches and creative ways of working crochet. It contains a wealth of stitch patterns and how-to techniques.
Stitches are introduced and accompanied by clear photographic step-by-step instructions, charts, and examples of the stitches — as well as feature spreads that explore ideas for yarns and colourways and how to use the stitches in garments, accessories and homewares.
This collection includes crochet's most popular stitch styles: nubbly textured stitches, delicate lacy ones, technically challenging Tunisian, colourful, graphic and endlessly adaptable chevrons and ripples, and finishing techniques. Stitches include ridges, cables, crossed, spikes, filet, mesh-like, trellis, shells, picots, fans, Tunisian, openwork, chevrons, ripples, bobbles and puffs.

INDEX, RESOURCES, AND CREDITS (3 pp)
Discover new stitches and ways to work with crochet. For all levels, this book includes a fabulous directory of stitches and techniques. It is so easy to use. Clear step-by-step photos guide you all the way. A wonderful array of stitches to add a little oomph to your crochet projects. At a glance stitches at the front of the book are divided into stitch type. Getting Started takes you through everything you need to know from materials and tools to basic techniques. For each stitch, you will see a clear photograph, at least two step-by-step photos and a chart. There are too many stitches to single out, but I always love the waves and picots, the cross-over stitches and more. Lots to try out and beautifully presented.

If you've never bought a crochet stitch book then this book is a fantastic place to start. Why not use the stitches to create your own projects. Crochet is so versatile you'll be amazed how quickly you'll be designing your own things. There are a lot of stitch books out there but this one is so different. It offers so many different types, designs, use of other materials that other books don't. I was really amazed by the diversity of the stitches. They are also explained in both written and chart format so either way you should be able to copy the designs. Different colours, techniques & items such as beads are used to demonstrate so many amazing styles. Some would be brilliant for afghans (blankets) and some would be even better for garments.
At the start of the book is all the information you will need to recreate the designs within the book. The instructions are clear and easy to understand. This really is a book you'll use for years to come. I often take my stitch books down whenever I feel like designing something. They give you so much inspiration. If you are new to crochet it's also a fantastic way to increase your skills. You can make a block of each and join them together to make a beautiful blanket (afghan).A fantastic addition to any library!

You might think you know crochet, but do you have 200 different stitches in your repertoire? We thought not! Sarah's latest book will get even the most experienced crocheters trying new things. Spikes, trellis, shells, Tunisian, chevrons, puffs, bobbles and nubbly patterns... The list goes on and on. The photographed step-by-steps and charts are crystal clear, and the swatches are printed actual size, so you'll see straight away if you're getting it right, or if things have gone awry along the way.

Ever fancied trying your hand at crochet? A trusty friend to have nearby, this guide not only provides essential information for crocheters, it's also there to teach you new stitches and inspire you to try different ways of working crochet. It's packed full of photographed swatches shown at actual size, which is handy when you're trying to recreate the ridges, shells, picots, chevrons, ripples, bobbles and so forth at home. There's also lots of advice on how to use the various stitches when making clothes, accessories and homewares, too.

Crochet has become so popular again and I can see great demand for this exciting new book of 200 stitches. This book is useful for all abilities. It shows the basics of crochet so that you can attempt and master any of the stitches. This is a wonderful directory of stitches for anyone interested in crochet. I like the layout of the book, just wish it laid flat for easier use. You can see clearly from the cover what you are getting, how-to close ups, great stitches in colour and charts. There isnt a stitch I dont like, favourites include Alternate, Spider, Sedge, Uneven Berry, Granule, anything involving scallops, shells, waves, chevrons, clusters, raised stitches, loops, lace or fans, Iris, Starburst and Solomons knot. Without doubt my favourite crochet stitch directory. Superb, colourful, easy to use. I am finally picking up my crochet hook.
