Crochet Stitch Dictionary: 200 Essential Stitches with Step-by-Step Photos

What can I say besides I am so excited to have this book in my library now! Every single photo is vividly colored so you can actually see the stitches. Every illustration is also vividly colored, and very obvious as to what the author is trying to teach. There just are no words for how much knowledge is packed into 189 pages. Each stitch is shown in a color photo, there is written instructions on how to complete the stitch as well as what the stitch looks like in the pattern symbols. This book is literally helping me write my own patterns and I am so excited to have this book as one of my favorite crochet "tools".

Okay, in all honesty, I skipped over the early sections straight to the stitches as I know how to hold a hook and choose yarn, etc but the book's so thorough and good I'll probably go back to it at some point. Happily found a lot of new patterns in the stitches which include stitch counts, charts, and step by step photos to help you get started! Yes, on each and every one of the 200 stitch patterns! All in one book! Amazing! Thank you Sarah Hazell for putting this all together in such a complete way, even the patterns using beads and sequins. 🙄 Some say I already have too much yarn, can't imagine adding beads or sequins to the inventory, LOL! Right now it's an elibrary loan (I've learned the hard way about pattern books which turn out to be mostly useless) but this one will definitely be a future purchase, and soon! Highly recommended if you're so inclined! ****Sorry, just found out this book's been out since 2013! Old news for you but better late than never for me! 🤓 ****

Absolutely love how this book is organized and the tutorial steps are so easy to follow. Pictures of the patterns are nice and clear and gorgeous!

I don't crochet, but I bought this book for my daughter-in-law who does. She LOVES it! I did leaf through the book and it has lots of beautiful photos, and the different types of stitches are grouped according to type of stitch. The day I gave it to her she said she was going to curl up in a blanket with a cup of tea that evening and go through the book. She was so excited!

Fantastic book! So many inspiring stitches. There are a few stitches that aren’t explained but are required to achieve other stitches, which is a little confusing.

This book is amazing. I have been crocheting for about a year now and have just started learning flat items like shawls and blankets. I wanted to do something different than some pattern stitches that I have learned. And well let me just tell you, this book is amazing. It has so many different crochet stitches you can choose from. Every stitch has a pictures to explain how to do the stitch. Plus it has the step by step to do the stitch as well. There is also a layout pattern of the symbols of how to do the pattern too, which myself I am still trying to learn. But in the back of the book it gives you the meanings to each symbol and what it stands for plus all the abbreviations too. This is a handy book for sure when you want to do something more than just a few standard crochet stitches for items. Highly recommend getting this if you are wanting to learn more crochet stitches and if you are into making different things when crocheting (will not working for amigurumi since you need to do SC unless you are wanting to make wings or something that doesn't require stuffing inside it).

Awesome book! BUY THE BOOK! This is a great resource! Wish there was another that had more advanced/creative stitches too! Id buy it as well LOL

I received this book today. I had to have it. I bought it on sale limited time. Beautiful book just what I needed. I am in process of crocheting sweaters for cooler weather and I can choose a stitch pattern from this book of 200 stitches. I also own a knitting book that has many many stitches as well so I'm all set for my projects. Great book if you are a beginner. I like that books shows hook sizes and symbols that are shown in patterns now I'll know what to do. I totally recommend this book to anyone who loves to craft and crochet.

J'aime beaucoup ce livre ou j'y pioche des idées de points, il suffit de connaitre les traductions de base en anglais ce n'est pas très compliqué, je recommande.

Very good product! Well made and lots of instructions.

Das Buch ist sehr gut geschrieben, erklärt alle Stiche mit Abkürzungen und Symbolen. Die bildlichen Schritt-für-Schritt-Beschreibungen sind leicht nachvollziehbar. Das Beste an diesem Buch ist meiner Meinung nach, dass es nicht nur für erfahrene Menschen, sondern auch für Anfänger geeignet ist. Ich liebe dieses Buch und kann es nur empfehlen.

It's very useful and clear

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Gorgeous patterns, clear instructions, and addictive! I bought this book to expand my crochet skills, and it has quickly become my go-to. The granny square designs are modern, colourful, and easy to follow. The photos are bright and detailed, and the step-by-step instructions make even the tricky patterns feel achievable. I love that there’s a mix of classic and creative squares, so I can make quick projects for gifts or work on a big blanket. Within an hour of opening the book, I was already hooked (pun intended). If you’ve ever wanted to take your crochet beyond the basics, this book is a perfect choice. I’ll be using it for years.
