I was able to teach myself how to crochet from this book. I have completed a couple of projects from this book, and look forward to doing more. I think the instructions in the beginning are simple and easy to follow. By reading through each chapter and practicing as I went, I have even been able to design a few simple pieces of my own. If you are a more experienced crocheter, this book may not be as useful to you.The patterns are fun and modern - and waaay better than a bunch of afghans. Besides, with the resurgence of arts and crafts in fashion right now, you might be able to crochet yourself quite the summer collection!
