Staff Pick: The Happy Hooker

As a crocheter, I've looked through multiple books for patterns and stitch directions, but I have to say that The Happy Hooker by Debbie Stoller was one of the best ones I've found.

What impressed me the most was the fact that it actually went into the history of crochet, and in an interesting way. And not only are the patterns pretty, but they are also quite useful.

I believe The Happy Hooker would be a good book for any level crocheter, from just getting started through advanced, to take a look at. It includes a description of the most common yarns that can be used for crochet, the tools that are commonly used, and forty different stitch patterns that can be used by beginners as well as advanced crocheters. Not only that, it gives precise directions for the beginner just becoming acquainted with crochet.

If you'd like to check out The Happy Hooker, you can place a hold on it here with your library card number and PIN.
