Encyclopedia of 300 Crochet Patterns
A definite let down. I purchased this book online because it said it had the symbol patterns along with written out.
What a bummer because the symbols are handwritten and it is terribly done. Very sloppy pictures. On many they are so sloppy and jumbled together it makes it almost impossible to read the chart. I only read charts so useless to me.
I am shocked that anything would be printed without professional diagrams.
The black and white on every page is also totally boring and takes the fun out of searching through the patterns. There are too many wonderful books out there to bother with this one.
It should be off the market.
After seeing it, I wouldn't give more than 50 cents at a yard sale.
Simple Reference
This book shows how to perform various crochet stitches, as stated. It is a basic book, with black and white and gray pictures throughout. I will say that it seems a little dated, but the information is still valid, and it's a good reference if you're looking to be reminded about how to perform certain stitches. However, I wouldn't recommend this book to someone who is completely new to crochet, as it's difficult to learn some of the stitches from black and white pictures. Someone who is more advanced at crocheting might be better-served by some of the newer crochet books out there with COLOR pictures. Rather dry and basic, but still informative.
Not really an Encyclopaedia
I have no idea why they call this book an Encyclopaedia, I can only suppose it's a marketing scam. For the life of me, I couldn't find the supposed 300 pattern & stitches. The photographs are terrible and in B&W. I did not find anything new under the sun and oh, the charts looked like they were made by an 8 yr old! In general the layout of the book is very unfriendly and hard to read. Extremely dissappointing.
