What a great book!! Ira Lott really took her care in setting out easy to follow instructions with amazing charts and pictures to go with them. She was also kind enough to included some basics in the back for anyone new to crochet or new to getting back into crochet. Patterns for any skill level of crochet. There is a wide variety of items and animals. This book also contains step by step instructions along with pictures to show your progress. It would be very beneficial to get a paper copy of this book since there is so many stitches and pictures. The book contains easy-to-follow written patterns, along with charts - for anyone who struggles with written patterns. There are numerous illustrations, which I find very useful and she’s even included skill levels. She discusses techniques, stitches, left-handed crochet and so much more!
