      DK, a publisher known for heavily illustrated, full-color treatments of a variety of topics, takes on crochet in this publication, that introduces basic tools, techniques, and stitches. The first half of the book focuses on specific topics in crochet, with each presented in a full-color, multipage spread, followed by a project to reinforce the technique. For example, increases and decreases feature a triangular bunting on a single-crochet chain. The second half of the book is a collection of easy to intermediate projects employing combinations of the techniques taught earlier. The projects range from the standard granny-square and motif blankets to simple garments and toys; difficulty levels are provided. VERDICT The large hardcover format makes this book look like an encyclopedia, but it's more of a how-to guide with projects. Still, crochet books this detailed are few and far between, and beginning crocheters who are visual learners will appreciate the straightforward directions and the pairing of techniques with projects.
