Favorite crochet books

Stitch’N Bitch Crochet; the Happy Hooker by Debbie Stoller
This book is great for beginners as well as intermediate. It features up-to-date fashions with lots of flair. I’ve made several of her patterns and have found them easy to follow.



Amazing Crochet Lace by Doris Chan
If you follow crochet at all you’ll be sure to see Chan’s name in many magazines. Her designs are stunning and give a whole new look to crochet. This book is geared toward intermediate/proficient crocheters, however there are some patterns that even a newbie could figure out without too much trouble. I am totally fascinated by her modern twist on old fashioned stitches!

Funky Chunky Crocheted Accessories by Jan Eaton
This is a ‘must have’ for every new crocheter. It has basic accessory patterns with lots of idea for basic edgings and trimmings, beading and embellishment to spice up any item. All patterns are made with chunky yarn so crochet-up very quickly.
