220 More Crochet Stitches: Volume 7

This book has very nice patterns, some of them are found everywhere, some of them are rare. The patterns are easy to follow, I haven`t seen any mistakes yet. It`s a good reference book to look up the patterns, and also a good experimentation book to challenge yourself with the tough patterns once in a while. Highly recomended!(All these apply to V6).

As with the 300 Crochet Stitches, this book is wonderful! Just when you think there can't be another stitch, here comes 220 more! You'll find it helpful in every aspect of crocheting, especially if you like designing your own things. I'm an afghan nut, and between these two books, no two afghans are ever going to be the same again!

I bought this book to go along with the 300 Crochet Stitches (Vol. 6), and I was just as impressed by this book! Easy to understand instructions and excellent photos to go with the stitch patterns.

Get this together with "300 Crochet Stitches..." if you can. But lest you think you need to have "300 Crochet Stitches..." first before enjoying "220 More Crochet Stitches...", let me say that the latter is a beauty in itself. Comes complete with instructions, diagrams, and chain multiples necessary to accomplish the piece. The chapters in this full-color, instruction-laden book are:Introduction - gives basic crochet instructions (how to hold the hook, making crochet fabric, changing colors, etc.) All-Over Patterns (76 patterns) - 76 lovely stitches that you'll be proud to display Filet Charts (26 patterns) - all fine-looking crochet pieces!

This is a reprint of The Harmony Guide to 100's More Crochet Stitches. Volumes 1-5 are all about knitting; volumes 6 & 7 are the crochet instructions. This has to be one of the most useful crochet books I have ever encountered. Volumes 6 & 7 together show you how to do basic stitches, laces, clusters, filet, shells, bobbles, loops, edgings & trimmings, some Irish crochet, various "motif" patterns, and Tunisian (Afghan) crochet stitches. The photos and diagrams are all in full color and the explanations are the best I have ever seen. Truly, they are worth every penny! If you can only get 2 books on crochet, get these.
