Tunisian Crochet Stitch Dictionary: 150 Essential Stitches with Actual-Size Swatches, Charts, and Step-by-Step Photos (Landauer) Beginner to Advanced Afghan Crocheting Patterns - Knit, Lace, and More

This was the third book I bought on Tunisian Crochet and it should have been my first. I'm a beginner and there's a section solely on the basic stitches to know before you break out the others. Clear instruction for each stitch and great charts so you can learn to read charts too.

I love this book I've just started tunisian crocheting but I have been crocheting for about 14 years . This book is colorful and shows the stitches it not only has just written instructions but also diagrams and pictures and even directions on how to read diagrams

Excellent pics, instructions for making each design.

I'm learning new stitches from this comprehensive book. The one thing I didn't like was that the book wasn't wrapped or protected, so it has some torn pages. Not enough to try to return it, but it certainly doesn't look like a new book.

The book has easy to understand directions to learn how to Tunisian crochet. It also includes directions for tons of additional Tunisian stitches.

Its always a hit and miss buying these books on line because you cant see the inside pages. Finally a Tunisian crochet book that has more than a few stitches in it. This book is awesome. It not only shows what the finished stitch looks like, pattern grid and photos of the steps. Would absolutely recommend!

While I think the content of the book was very thoughtfully and thoroughly put together, the beige background and 8 pt. font in grey makes it terribly difficult to read. Because it's impossible to keep a book like this open, I like to photocopy the pages I need. When I did that it was all but impossible to read it. The photo herein is directly from the page. When I tried to do it in brighter lighting it washed out entirely. Whomever thought this was a great idea should try and actually use it.

If you get this it’s the only one you need and I bought 3 before this one. Every stitch you could want excellent pictorial instructions. Best book!

First off .... I first learned about Tunisian Crochet just over five years ago; I fell in love with it; and haven't looked back. I'm thinking that many more crafters are also falling in love with Tunisian Crochet .... because information about the craft, while sparse when I was first learning, is so much easier to find now-a-days. (And yes, as recently as five years ago, Tunisian Crochet learning resources and tools were much scarcer than today.)This Dictionary of 150 Tunisian Crochet Stitches is a terrific addition to any crafter's library. If, what you are looking for is a Tunisian Crochet Stitch Dictionary.A complete beginner just learning Tunisian crochet might want to check out a book written specifically for beginners. This stitch dictionary does review some of the basics, but those tidbits are not placed front and centre ... and are not the focus of this book.Anyways, this stitch dictionary is full of colour photos, charts and written instructions for each and every stitch and stitch pattern presented.One Amazon reviewer lamented the absence of photos showing the 'wrong' side of the swatches. I think I can explain why it might have been left out. Regular Tunisian crocheted fabrics are generally one sided (i.e., the front facing side carries the design (or stitch definition). The other side, while presentable, is definitely the wrong side and looks pretty much the same for almost all stitches and stitch patterns (sort of a knobby ribbed effect - plain looking, but not unsightly). There are a few exceptions: For example the "Knit Stitch, back to front, purled" alternating across the row with the "Knit Stitch" will produce a double sided ribbed fabric. This is anomalous and not covered in this stitch dictionary.That said, you can produce a reversible fabric in Tunisian Crochet, using a double ended Tunisian crochet hook and an additional Tunisian Crochet technique .... sometimes called Crohooking. Tunisian Crochet in the Round is another technique you can do using a double ended Tunisian Crochet hook.To my mind it is impossible to capture the plethora of Tunisian Crochet techniques into one stitch dictionary. Likewise no one stitch dictionary will ever capture the countless ways in which you can create stitches.This Tunisian Crochet Stitch Dictionary of 150 essential stitches comes close. Ergo, my five star rating stands.

As ilustrações são ótimas e não vejo a hora de começar a crochetar. Recomendo todas os materiais publicados por esta editora.

Kniha je pro mne přínosná, líbí se mi množství vzorů pěkně uspořádaných v knize. Snadno se podle ní učí.
