"Crocheting for Beginners" gives you a good introduction into the world of crocheting. Kathy Wilston assumes you're an absolute beginner--like I was/am--and starts off with the very basics: all the different kinds of yarn, what crochet hooks and equipment beginners need, and so on. For me this was especially helpful, since when I read the first few pages I hadn't even bough yarn or any equipment. Then the real fun begins: basic crochet stitches, how to hold your hook, how to control the yarn, and a lot of more helpful stuff beginners need to know; how to change color and join yarn, how to understand yarn, how to make "granny squares", and many more. I started crocheting only a week ago, but since then this little book was a great teacher, and I think I will open it lots of times in the upcoming weeks and months. Definitely a recommendation.
