As a beginner/intermediate crocheter it is frustrating to find mistakes in patterns, when you are trying to learn from a book. Luckily, I have an expert in crochet that helps me and can identify it when I am confused. Otherwise, it's a good book. Illustrations are clear. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Review for electronic book *by L***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 20, 2023* The Kindle version of this book is adequately formatted and readable. If you want a portable reference book this is a good one. However, if you are new to the craft of crochet, I would recommend getting a hard copy if you can. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A truly usefool book for beginner or experienced crocheters *by K***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 1, 2015* If you enjoy crochet, whether beginner or experienced, Dora Ohrensteins' Crocheter's Skill-Building Workshop, is a must have for your crochet library.Dora takes you through selecting yarn and hooks to give the results you want for your project.

She shares tips and strategies to help you pick your material tools and pattern. One often overlooked aspect where Dora shares her expertise is how to achieve to created the desired crochet fabric and project gauge by controlling yarn tension. An entire chapter is devoted to the topic and even those with many years of experience can learn helpful ways to control tension and prevent or ease aching hands.Starting with the basics of making a foundation chain, slip, single, double and triple crochet stitches, Dora gos step-by step though each, showing ways to hold yarn, where to insert your hook. The clearly written text is accompanied by photos illustrating each step.. If you are a beginner, this section of the book is a useful resource to teach yourself how to crochet. But there is much more than the basics here.There is information on working into foundation chains and instructions for alternate foundation stitches, turning chains, extended stitches, insertion points, joining and changing yarn and even unraveling the inevitable goofs. Complex stitches are explained and pictured in clear detail. Post stitches, clusters, bobbles, popcorns and spike stitches are covered and there are how-tos for making various cable patterns. The most useful chapters to would-be designers and those trying to make flattering garments that fit properly are two chapters on shaping crochet elements like squares and circles and stitch patterns simple and complex. Dora's texts covers the advantages and disadvantages of various shaping methods for different stitch patterns and uses.Perhaps the best feature among all the instructions and tips are the pattern directions for swatches to practice the stitches, motifs, complex stitch patterns, increase and decrease methods, and cables.Dora's writing style is clear while conveying warmth and openess.
