Textured Crochet

Published by St. Martin’s Press, Textured Crochet by Helen Jordan is part of a new series of books called the “Stitch Collection.” The series is based on the success of the popular “Stitch Bible Series.”

Featuring 96 pages with more than 70 designs, this small book is jam-packed with stitch patterns and variations, charts, and full-color photos. Instructions are presented in both text format and symbol charts for ease of use. The paper over board covers and hidden spiral bindings allow the book to lie flat while you’re working, making it easier to follow along with the instructions.

Although this book is written using American terms, the reference section at the back of the book lists the corresponding British terms should you need to convert them. Also featured is an extensive list of abbreviations and symbols to make the patterns easier to read, no matter whether you are using the text or charted instructions. It’s a great little book that I am happy to add to my personal crochet library.
