The Art of Crochet for Beginners

Freya Gates explains everything about the basic techniques for simple crocheting in The Art of Crochet for Beginners. Gates includes pictures, diagrams, and very simple instructions from how to hold the needle to how to count stitches. Then Gates takes you through simple patterns from a pot holder to a scarf.

Gates gets a little creative from that point on by including everything from dolls to superhero gift ideas for your loved ones. As a person who crochets and can never remember how to get started - I thought this book was great.

I love this hobby. If you have not had a chance to try it, this is the book to start it with.

I received an ARC of this book and I am writing a review without prejudice and voluntarily.
