Sarah-Jayne FragolaBella Coco's Crochet Stitch Library: My Top 100 Stitches, Borders and Motifs

Just received my pre-ordered book. It's very good value for money, cheaper than the corresponding card deck, although obviously less portable. The book has a beautiful layout and clear photographs - I am very impressed.It would make an ideal Christmas gift for a keen crocheter and useful for all levels from a beginner upwards. The colour-coded pages make it easy to use as a reference book to dip into. There is so much to explore as it is packed with hints and tips. The spine opens out well, almost flat when using it to crochet from.The book gives preference to US crochet terms with the UK terms afterwards in brackets each time. I am getting used to US terms now, so I don't find this to be a problem. Large charts are also provided in the shapes and squares section. The shapes and squares section also gives instructions for unusual shapes such as half-hexagon (horizontal) and half-hexagon (vertical).Well done to the author (Sarah-Jayne Fragola) and the Search Press publication team. My only criticisms of the book is that it should contain more projects, showing the various stitches in finished items and I would like to have seen more borders. An idea for a Crochet Stitch Library - Volume 2?

I follow Bella Coco and seen this book had been released. I love having patterns on paper so I can look at them when I want and this book did not disappoint. Easy to follow and lots of patterns/easy to follow instructions.Thanks again Bella Coco - keep being amazing

Wow, I was really excited when this became available for pre-order and I was not disappointed! Just like the first Bella Coco book, you really get your money’s worth. It is packed full of crochet knowledge with great descriptions and large, clear pictures. It’s way thicker than i thought it would be and even the paper feels of exceptional quality. Would make a great gift. The terms are written in US first with UK in brackets after each instruction but it is easy to read. Love it!

I ordered this book and I could not wait for it to come. I was not disappointed with the entire book and the quality. I love that it has US terminology (as well as UK). It has different skills levels and the instructions are well written. I showed it to ladies in a crochet group I go to and they all said it is a really good book. I have ordered the card set for when I am at group. If you love to make blankets and want to learn new stitches then this book is a must. I love it.

I couldn’t wait to purchase this book. Such beautiful stitches and can’t wait to get working through them. I am quite disappointed though it is written in US terms (with the UK terms in brackets next to them in fainter writing). I have learnt everything from watching Bella cocos YouTube videos so I was expecting the main terms to be UK. Luckily I sort of know the US terms also but it would have been better if the book was primarily UK based in my opinion

I love this book it has so many different stitches to offer and is clear and easy to follow. It maybe in US terms but that doesn’t affect it at all. I think it’s a good idea to learn both Uk and US terminology. Well done Sarah-Jayne another brilliant book.

Fab book as a stitch library

Absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book - it's written in US Crochet terms which is how I taught myself to Crochet, so that's 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ straight away from me!!!But the book has AMAZING photos of how to Crochet the basics, so FANTASTIC for Beginners too!I JUST LOVE THIS BOOK!
