I am having a great time with crocheting and have been researching how-to book.
A renowned knitter Lily Chin has published a basic crochet title.
It begins with describing hooks and yarns including charts showing US, metric and UK differences. Basic stitches are described and illustrated in black and white drawings. The book moves to making a swatch (boring but necessary) and how to adjust patterns to best fit your body. The author includes all types of shorts cuts and tips to make your project easier. This is the first book I have seen on crocheting that covers how to fix your mistakes, be they small or requiring major surgery. Each tip or technique is described in detail and is accompanied with black and white illustrations. A great book to tuck into your project bag to refer to as needed. Sorry no projects included.
