Knitting and Crochet Books
Technique and pattern books for crochet and knitting are gathered here: Mosaic Crochet (the mosaic crochet technique), Romantic Crochet (lace and romantic motifs), Flower Knitting (knitted flowers) and other English titles. They are charted and photographed, and since English books use international crochet symbols they can be followed without the language. Amigurumi titles are in Amigurumi Magazines and Books, macramé in Macramé Books.
