Love :heart: love :heart: [U]The Crochet Bible[/U], [U]Encyclopedia of Crochet [/U]and one that is cross discipline for lack of a better word, [U]The Ultimate Sourcebook of Knitting & Crochet Stitches[/U]. As far as pattern books gosh anything goesā€¦ [U]Cool Crochet[/U] is quite cool as well as the notebook full of loose patterns Iā€™ve collected from everywhere :lol:

I donā€™t have a ā€œbest ofā€ list yetā€¦ but I really like the book Knitting Loves Crochet ~ that blends both techniques into projectsā€¦
i also really enjoy my Crochet! magazinesā€¦
and for my Bday I got a subscription to Interweave Crochetā€¦~!:cheering:
I am looking forward to my 1st issue around aug/sept~!

I love the Barnden Bible and I just got a combo book which has excellent pictures: Maranā€™s Illustrated :knitting and Crocheting". I also have a few Mon Tricot books which are old but excellent!!!:cheering:

I like the Harmony Guides crochet stitch books. They tell you how to do each stitch written out row by row and also in chart form, and itā€™s really helped me learn to read crochet charts. They are these:

I, too, am a huge fan of SnB Happy Hooker. I taught myself to knit using that book. The directions and illustrations are great. Not to mention, there are some super cute patterns!!

I thought you said you purchased 200 crochet books! lol That would be a lot of books. :slight_smile:

Happy Hooker is my favorite.

:shock: Are there 200 books about crochet.
All of the books that everyone suggested look so fun. I did buy one more and now I have to go trough self imposed yarn and book diet.
I went a bit crazy with yarn and book buying.:shock:

I donā€™t crochet much and books donā€™t really seem to help me learn (Iā€™m a visual learner!), but there is a book called Crocheting School that has been really helpful. I think there is a Knitting School, too, but I havnā€™t seen one. :shrug:

I just picked up this book from the library today and it is so awesome! Iā€™m definitely going to put it on my ā€œhave to haveā€ list.
