Crochet for complete beginners - and for lefties!,
By
This review is from: Crochet Unravelled: A Clear and Concise Guide to Learning Crochet (Paperback)
Claire Bojczuk is a very fine woman indeed. I say she's a fine woman, because she has produced an amazingly clear and simple guide to learning how to crochet - with right and left handers treated with the same respect. The diagrams and drawings are real, that is you can recognize what's going on in them - and she never assumes that as a left-hander you'll just 'work it out for yourself'. All the instructions are 'step by step' and she not only gives written instructions but introduces symbol charts once you've got the hang of the basic techniques. You'll find all the different stitches and techniques on their own pages for easy reference, starting with how to hold the hook and how to make the initial slipknot through to increasing and decreasing and working in the round; nothing is assumed or left to chance.Claire also explains UK and USA terminology (same words - different stitches!), yarn thicknesses and hook sizes, tension, ball bands and how to read the information on them, finishing, joining work, right and wrong sides and keeping track of your work and the pattern. This is truly a booklet for the complete beginner - you don't need any kind of prior experience, or, indeed, to be a knitter to understand what to do. There are 11 projects which are described clearly and take you through the basics and beyond. You will find baby bootees and blanket, hair scrunchies, bracelets, bags, pillows, washcloths, a scarf and lace edgings, with and without beads. 64 pages, not an inch of space wasted, light enough to carry with you.

Excellent book for beginners,
By K Brohill (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crochet Unravelled: A Clear and Concise Guide to Learning Crochet (Paperback)
Within one week of receiving this book I finally cracked crochet! Two experienced crocheting friends had tried and failed to get me started but thanks to the clear illustrations and text in this little book I was able to complete a blanket for my daughter's bed and am half way through a throw comprised of traditional "granny squares". Thank you Clare Bojczuk for an excellent, concise liitle book.

Hooked on crochet!,
By
This review is from: Crochet Unravelled: A Clear and Concise Guide to Learning Crochet (Paperback)
This is an absolute gem of a book. As the title suggests, 'Crochet Unravelled' is indeed a clear and concise guide to helping anyone understand and practise the art of crochet, from simple basic patterns to more sophisticated projects.Moreover, what sets Bojczuk's book apart from the rest on the market is that she gives equal emphasis to both left-handed and right-handed crocheters, which means there can be no excuse to get started, even for absolute beginners! With easy to follow instructions and beautiful diagrams, as well as tips on hand positions and choosing the correct yarn, Crochet Unravelled is an invaluable book for any aspiring crocheter.
