However, I was unaware that there are different terms for certain stitches in American and British English.Considering how many crappy books are published these days, this is a surprisingly solid, excellent book!!I really picked it up because I wanted to check out "what's new." Though the book contains fewer projects than I thought, I was impressed with the excellent design of the book, the absolutely fabulous pictures, and the excellent bibliographies. As an author myself I really appreciate it when other authors do their homework and name all sources.The color illustrations showing how the various stitches are done are probably the best I have ever seen, much better than in many well known magazines I have read.From illustrations how to store the yard, how to read instructions, fillet graphs, to pictures that show the crochet needle running through the work piece and picking up the yard on the other side author Dorothy Wilks does it all.If you want to know how "complete" and fabulously illustrated this book is, here is proof:At the end of this book the author explains "blocking," the process of giving a completed piece the desired shape. She uses a shawl as an example and shows picture of the finished piece, explains that it has to be sprayed with water, pulled into the correct shape, then use blocking pins to keep in that shape and weigh it down until it is completely dry. She then shows a picture of the same piece - finished. Even though I have been reading books about knitting and crocheting for more than forty years I have never seen pictures showing both states; "before and after" blocking.Love this book - highly recommended.Gisela Hausmann, author & blogger ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Good collection for beginners in crochet *by L***S on Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2016* This is an impressive collection of crochet guides. As a beginner in crochet, I learned a lot especially the basics of crocheting, symbols and learning different patterns such as for hats, blankets, scarves which is my main purpose of learning is to make this a hobby and improve a lot more. I think crocheting is an underrated hobby, it definitely soothes your mind and it's not tiring. After reading this guide I have learned that it's important to know the symbols so you can understand the patterns better. I don't have any complaints about this guide since it had so many illustrations and figures to help me understand the stitching techniques. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars but it is a useful book. I wish there had been one full ... *by H***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2017* The formatting is a little weird, but it is a useful book. I wish there had been one full table of contents at the beginning, but other than that it is nice. It is multiple books, and it has the table of contents for the book you're on at the beginning of that book, and there aren't any links to the separate books at the start. That is really my only issue with this book. I am a bit more advanced than the stuff I've looked over so far, but it would be great for beginners. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/99743861-the-almanac-of-crocheting](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/99743861-the-almanac-of-crocheting) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
