Leisure Arts Book, Assorted

I have many crochet books. I like this one because the patterns are very simple. Average is 5 rows with repeat 2 rows. It has many different types of patterns.

This book was purchased through Prime from a Goodwill in CA. I couldn't be happier with it.It has patterns and ideas I have never seen before and I've been crocheting for fifthy years.The condition is exceptional for being used. A win win as a portion of my purchase benefits those in need with Goodwill.

50 Fabulous Crochet Bobbles, Popcorns and Puffs by the late Jean Leinhauser of the Creative Partners is a pattern booklet featuring 55 textured stitch patterns.Each pattern includes a large swatch photograph and clear written instructions using US pattern abbreviations. The book begins with a table of contents featuring thumbnails of each stitch, so it is easy to find patterns again. As a booklet, it can lay flat, making it easy to crochet and read at the same time. The booklet is also lightweight enough to be portable. The booklet doesn't include any international stitch symbols. While there is diversity in the density of the different stitches - which create lacy to heavy weight fabrics - the patterns all emphasize dimensional/textured stitches and don't include a variety of other stitch types. There are no difficulty levels indicated, and the book assumes you already have basic to intermediate crochet skills.I would recommend this booklet to crocheters who are beginning to explore stitch guides, crocheters who enjoy using textured stitches, and those who are budding designers. A stitch guide collector will probably find that several of the stitches are already represented in their other books.Full disclosure: A free review copy of this booklet was provided by Leisure Arts. Although I accept free products for review, I do not accept additional compensation, nor do I guarantee a positive review. My reviews are based entirely on my honest opinions.

As a 2 year left handed crochet newbie I love well written books such as this one. The pictures are excellent and the easy to follow instructions wonderful. Would recommend for everyone that loves to learn crochet patterns.

It's okay. Wasn't blown away by any of the designs.Probably won't keep this book. I have a lot of crochetingfriends and I'm sure one of them will use this book.

Very nice book and in excellent condition!
