If you're at the thinking stage of wanting a hobby and contemplating learning how to crochet, this book will give you the essentials, from mind set to the different kinds of yarns,,, the easiest to work with, even introducing the concept of using plastic bags, cut into strips, for your "yarn," types of crochet hooks down to a tip for arthritics to use a bamboo hook which is warmer to the touch, how to hold your crochet hook.... lots of great information. All the simple types of stitches are given. I did miss photos or some type of drawing to illustrate how the stitches were done and, very importantly, how they look. Visuals help so very much when learning a new craft, especially one in which the visual aspect is paramount.
