Beginner Crochet

In a market crowded by beginner crochet books that feel generic, Angie Bivins stands out. Her beginner’s guide teaches new crocheters the most essential skills with detailed step‑by‑step photo instruction and her signature warm and encouraging writing. Paired with chic, timeless projects, Angie taps directly into today’s trending crochet styles, making this the book beginners actually want.

Each chapter pairs a key skill with a project or two that reinforces the lesson: a classic granny square coaster to master basic stitches, a playful cat ears hat to practice reading patterns and keeping consistent tension, and a cozy blanket to perfect tidy edges. Later chapters introduce next level techniques and popular, versatile projects—a seamless pullover sweater, a trendy granny square bag, and slipper socks that make seaming stress‑free.

Angie packs this book with all of her best wisdom, tons of troubleshooting advice, and answers to the most frequently asked questions, allowing readers to avoid the “beginner look” of their first projects and also overcome common stumbling blocks. With 12 total projects ranging from quick accessories to fashionable garments, Angie ensures beginners learn by making pieces they’ll actually want to wear and use.
