celticmom Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Can anyone recomend a good starting crochet book for a girl that will be 8 when she receives it? I have purchased some crochet hooks for dd7 for christmas and want to get her an instructional/project book as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumto2 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 My dd enjoyed "The Mary Frances Knitting and Crochet Book" at that age. It is a book written 100 years ago in order to teach both skills. The explanations are all part of a fairy story. Very sweet. Lots of doll clothing patterns. You move through the story and make the items. As I remember crochet came first but it was a while ago. It may be free to pdf someplace so google. I know I have seen the gardening Mary Frances book for free pdf. I just googled and found several pages of reviews etc. The teach yourself to crochet books (they used to have them at Michaels) are probably good. That is how I learned to knit.

Miss Tick Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I recommend "Kids Learn to Crochet" by Lucinda Guy. We used the knitting version last year and my dc were intrigued by the projects (although didn't have the staying power at 6yo to make it to the end). I found the knitting book at the library, although her website has a lot of sample pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
