I have browsed many crochet stitch dictionaries and own quite a few of them and I have never seen one quite like Crochet Every Way Stitch Dictionary. There are 125 stitch patterns in this book and each one includes written and charted instructions on how to increase, decrease, and work evenly.

How awesome is that!! I have never seen a stitch dictionary with this much detail.

As a designer, I love this book, as it takes the guesswork out of trying to add shaping to things like garments and shawls. I already know I am going to use this over and over again.

That being said, you definitely don’t need to be a designer to use this book! Let’s say you want to crochet an asymmetrical scarf. Just pick a stitch, start with a small multiple and increase until its the size you want. Crochet Every Way Stitch Dictionary makes projects like these more attainable for the average crocheter.
