Crochet Complete Guide
by Jane Dais

Publisher: Krause
Edition: Hardback

Crochet is a varied craft form with everything from thick, yarn afghans to delicate lace doilies. It's hard to find a book that covers it all, and when you do, most books are large and heavy - not something you can carry with your project for easy reference. Here is a handy little volume that is filled with stitch patterns and the basics for all types of crochet, so you can stash it in your workbag and have a host of information and ideas at your fingertips. The basics section at the beginning of the book has complete instructions, both illustrated and written, for all the stitches needed to make the samples in the book. At the end of the book are instructions for several sample projects that you can customise to your tastes by picking stitch patterns throughout the book. You'll find this little book has big potential to guide you on your way in making beautiful creations in crochet.

Amazing Crochet Lace
by Doris Chan

Publisher: Potter
Edition: Paperback

From the runways of Paris to the sidewalks of small towns, crochet has emerged as a cool and sophisticated fashion trend. Nothing is cooler than doing it yourself - quickly and easily. Inspired by vintage patterns, Doris Chan presents twenty fresh, fantastic designs for beginner and advanced crocheters alike. Chan’s designs brilliantly translate old-fashioned lace patterns into fun, funky attire by substituting bright, chunky yarns for delicate fibres and increasing gauge and hook sizes. The result is a lovely, intricate lace pattern that only looks like it was difficult to produce. Because almost all the patterns are designed to be crocheted from the top down seamlessly, there is little to no finishing, piecing or sewing required. If you’ve never tried to crochet before, Amazing Crochet Lace is a wonderful introduction to the charm and beauty of lace. If you’re a pro, you’ll be thrilled with the lovely, fresh designs you can create with the skills you already possess.
