Many people hop to YouTube immediately when looking to learn a new skill, but honestly, books pair nicely with videos. Sometimes you want a still image of exactly where the hook should be in relation to the yarn. And videos can have a lot of filler content that makes it frustrating to find the clip you really want. Moreover, once you’ve got the skills, you need actual projects to work on, and books provide a lifetime’s worth of inspiration. Crochet is an incredibly fun textile art for the freedom and creativity it encourages. So whether you love a granny square, a cute amigurumi creature, or the idea of designing your own work of crocheted art, here are some books for beginning and advanced crocheting. Let’s get into it. I hope my enthusiasm for crochet has rubbed off on you a bit. It’s inspiring to me that there’s always more to learn from a craft like crochet, if not from these books than perhaps from another of the best books for crocheting. And there’s someone in this world who craves the warmth and beauty you could provide with a hook and some yarn. Maybe it’s you! Time to get crafting.
