A nice selection of a variety of crochet stitches - from very basic to complex stitch patterns. The instructions are clear, with a photograph, and diagram, of each stitch pattern. The first few pages of the book are a basic how-to crochet stitches, and a glossary of the abbreviations used in this book. Please note: This book is literally a collection of crochet stitches. There are no patterns for making specific garments, or accessories. ( )
