When I started learning how to crochet, my husband picked this book up for me. Of course at the time I did not know how to read a pattern, so I couldn’t use it. Within months I was able to. The patterns are very easy to understand. I also love that it gives you the brands and color of the yarn that they used so that you could make yours as close to the photo as possible. My favorite pattern is the golden snitch baby blanket. I still have a few patterns that I have not made as of yet in this book. I cannot wait to make more.
