8 Different Crochet Stitches: Learn to Crochet Something New with Crochet Patterns
You’re an old pro at all your favorite stitches. You tend to stick to the ones you know, and that’s totally OK because your scarves are beautiful, and everyone loves your sweaters. But it does get a little, well, boring sometimes doing the same stitch over and over again. For as much or as little as you have been crocheting, have you ever been bold enough to learn how to crochet something new?

Too basic for me and the quality of the pictures was poor.

Not enough pictures
They tell you how to do it. but some of us need more pictures to see if what we are doing is the right way and a picture helps us to see that it is coming out the way it is supposed to.

Definitely not for a beginner!
I'm sure that the instructions are great for a novice, but far too confusing for someone new to the world of crochet...maybe I will be able to understand it in time?

I thought the pictures were not very clear. I am some what of a new crocheter and found the written instructions confusing. The stitches did look interesting and I think I would hsve enjoyed learning them

Informative and perfect for those who need a refresher course or even want to get see if Crocheting is for you. More practice and will be able to keep up but it really does show you what can be done.

Fun
The stitch on the front picture is the stitch I wanted to learn and I knew enough about Crochet to understand the instructions. The other stitches I did not understand very well! I would love to learn some of these because they look so nice!

Excellent guide
At a glance the instructions are clear and ready to follow. I am about to voice it all a go

Here's another one I picked up for free on Amazon. It is still free today. I love looking at the pictures on my tablet as they are very clear and I can see what the results should look like.
This isn't a pattern book. If you are an experienced crocheter you have tons of patterns. This gives you stitches that you might include in your work. Some of them I knew, but could never find the pattern that included this stitch. Others were new to me. I can hardly wait to try them out!
If you like to crochet and need pictures to help you out, this is the book for you. Oh, and there are links to sites that will teach you more. This one is a keeper!

I enjoyed learning from this book, March 28, 2015
This review is from: 8 Different Crochet Stitches: Learn to Crochet Something New with Crochet Patterns (Kindle Edition)
8 Different Crochet Stitches: Learn to Crochet written about Prime Publishing was very helpful to me.
I have been crocheting for a long time and I am always looking for new patterns. I enjoyed learning from this book. It was very helpful and gave step by step instructions.
The funny thing is my pattern never looks like the picture in the instruction book.
Thanks.

short and sweet tutorial
This has some lovely stitches and instructions for some techniques I wasn't sure about and the illustrations were pretty clear. I like the crocodile stitch, but found the instructions beyond the first couple stitches a little confusing. That is my only complaint.

New ideas
My grandmother and her sister, my great aunt, taught me basic crochet stitches. Now hopefully I will be able to add these four stitches to enhance my projects. I am glad that the book only showed four different types of stitches instead of showing multiple of stitches. That would be a little overwhelming. I can't wait to start my next project.

But it does get a little, well, boring sometimes doing the same stitch over and over again. BUT, it's a new year new you!!! New stitches GURL!! Try this out for a spin, to stretch those paws between reading books...! Send me a pic of whay you made!

Complicated
Could probably do with a few more pictures to help illustrate how to do the stitches. Some of the instructions are easy to follow others not so much. Probably a bit advanced for me at this stage.

Okay
If I had no or minor knowledge of crochet, I would be lost. While it does offer a few new stitches, the directions aren't clear. Since I am experienced in crochet I could follow most instructions. Decidedly not for a novice.

Free
can't go wrong when it's free but I just wished that there would have been more:( That's the only reason for 4 stars.

Not useful
Not really new stitches and I couldn't get the pictures to expand enough to be of any use. Disappointing try, good thing it was free

Eh...
I'll definitely keep it for a couple stitches, but it is not an essential. It is clear why it was free.

Easy to read
I haven't actually tried any of these stitches yet but I did flip through. It's easy to follow and the pictures are bright and colorful.
