Following her book You Can Crochet with Bella Coco, which invites new crocheters to pick up their hooks and create, Fragola has crafted a veritable encyclopedia of her favorite stitches in this handy reference for crocheters of all skill levels. She offers a guide to the basic tools, yarn types, gauge, and essential stitches, all neatly and clearly illustrated with photographs (and aesthetically pleasing because of the calm color palette woven throughout the book). The section on the anatomy of a stitch clearly illustrates the V’s comprising each stitch in a chain, something that can feel a bit esoteric for crafters at first, and each of the stitch types that follows is demarcated based on skill level, multiples, stitches used, pattern notes, and instructions. Fragola also includes patterns that spotlight some of her favorite stitches, including a tote, a blanket, and a wrap that will serve as fun projects and templates for ways to mix and match stitches.
VERDICT A clear and comforting collection of crochet stitches that will serve as a useful guide as well as a source of inspiration.
