This is a crochet stitch guide with more than 70 textured stitch patterns.
What I like:
There is a well lit photograph of each stitch in colorful yarn. (This booklet is fun to flip through!)
A great range of stitch designs using textured stitches. (This is the only stitch guide I have which has a whole section on "three-fold fabrics" to use "the unique three-loop top of the half double crochet...")
Each stitch includes both pattern abbreviations and stitch symbols.
There is a stitch symbol key on each page with any special stitches used so you don't have to do a lot of flipping to the back of the booklet.
The book is spiral bound and lays flat, so you can easily read and crochet at the same time.
Stitch multiples are included so that you can easily adapt the stitches for a project of a different width.
The book is small and portable.
What I don't like (or what's missing):
There is no pattern difficulty listed.
The stitches are so fun that I wish there were more!
This book is really a gem. It includes many decorative stitches that you won't find in other standard stitch guides.

A great crochet book on textured crocheting. I use the half double front loop stitch and it looked like I did a knit row, purl row. Pretty cool.
