63 Easy-To-Crochet Pattern Stitches: Combine to Make an Heirloom Afghan (Leisure Arts)

This was exactly what I was looking for. I lost my original copy and was thrilled to find it on Amazon!

Whether beginner or advanced, 63 Easy-To-Crochet Pattern Stitches offers patterns to last a lifetime. I purchased this book because I saw the finished product in the Winner's Circle at the Texas State Fair a few years ago. Since then, I have completed at least 30 of the patterns or "squares." This book is filled with unique patterns that are textured styles, creating the sophisticated appearance of knitting. For example, there are several post-stitch and cable-stitch patterns that can be easily converted into contemporary sweaters and scarves. Each pattern is written in multiples so that you can decide whether to crochet a square, scarf, afghan, sweater or more. As an instructor, I use this book to teach newbies and enthusiasts who enjoy the challenge of a new pattern. It is easy to simply look at the photos of each of the 63 patterns and decide which ones catch your eye, then follow the brief, well-written instructions. For those who enjoy assembling a massive project, the finished cover afghan is a delight.

I love this book! It shows you how to make a sampler afghan using 63 squares with 63 different stitches. Love it!

Great book .. so far I made 4 of the squares . The instructions were easy to follow . some of the square are truly beautiful and each have the stitch multiples, so one can make more than squares if desired... I'm giving it a four because some of the pictures are grainy and hard to see .Also pictures and instructions for related squares are not on the same page. Annoying having to flip back and forth if you want a visual reference.

Product is described and delivered on time

Great collection of 63 different stitches in "square" form. Great instructions, easy to follow, stitches move from the simplest to more complex, allowing beginners to improve and more advanced crocheters to add new stitches to their repertoire. Book includes photos of completed blocks and instructions for finishing the afghan. May also be used as a reference for the stitches as used in other projects.

I love this pattern book

It could be a great book, but the photos are small and the color of the yarn used makes it very difficult to see clearly what the stitches look like. The written directions are very well written and illustrated and easy to follow. It would have been 5 stars with better quality photos

Minha mãe adorou! Os padrões são lindos ficam lindos juntos!

A lovely book for the price. Ive crocheted for some years but must admit, some of the patterns have me baffled (and Ive ended up googling for further instructions) so Im not sure its for a beginner but its a great source for mastering some new stitches and they do seem to start with the basics and get harder as you go on so worth a go if a novice fancies learning. Id got a stack of 25gm balls that were gifted to me and didn't know what to do with them, each square uses around one of them so its absolutely perfect. Im about halfway though and still not bored , which is good for me lol x

Ich habe mir auf Empfehlung einer Freundin dieses Buch zugelegt und bin wirklich nur begeistert über diese schönen Muster. Da ich als Linkshänder oft Schwierigkeiten mit deutschen Häkelschriften habe, bin ich wirklich froh über die geschriebene Form der englischsprachigen Häkelbücher. Allerdings kein Buch für einfaches Schulenglisch, man sollte schon ein wenig Erfahrung mit englischen Anleitungen haben. Da bei den einzelnen Mustern auch immer die Angabe gemacht wird, wie viele Maschen für den Mustersatz benötigt werden, kann man diese Muster auch sehr leicht für andere Projekte benutzen. Es werden sowohl die uk, als auch die us Häkelbezeichnungen angegeben, so dass es egal ist, ob mn bereits mit englischen oder amerikanischen Anleitungen gearbeitet hat.

I am a keen crocheter and this book is great because it gives me a large selection of stitches all in one place so I can choose what I want to customise the items I am making. The book will be useful and I am very glad I found it. I recommend this book as the patterns are explained very well and are very easy to follow.

Es una especie de revista, solo trae el trabajo de la portada, está en inglés, trae fotos de cada trabajo pero no tiene gráficos, si no se sabe descifrar la jerga del punto hay que fiarse de las fotos, son trabajos sencillos pero hay que saber hacerlos.26pag. contando portadas.
