Crochet!, by Marie-Noëlle Bayard, takes you through the basics of crochet with step-by-step photos and instructions, then ups the ante, showing you how to make a variety of motifs (such as granny squares, medallions, etc.). It also provides patterns for a variety of projects, from cuter-than-cute baby booties to a one-of-a-kind lampshade. Crochet is something that I struggle with, but I think even I could make some progress with this book – I love the photos that illustrate each instruction, and the projects are really appealing. Whether you're looking to pick up a new skill or brush up on long-lost knowledge, I think this book will hit the spot.
