I would LOVE to learn more about lace stitches as well as clusters. Also, spike stitches? Tunisian stitches? Wow, I need this book, lol.
I would love to win this book! I want to learn more about Tunisian stitches, filet stitches, and lace stitches. Thanks for giving us the chance to win this.
I sooo want this book.. I have seen it in the store.. I would love to learn the popcorn/bobble stitch.. I would also learn some tunisian crochet. 🙂
I recently moved away from my home and into a community where my Grandmother lived and worked. She is not here today and I never had the opportunity to learn crochet from her. I missed out because she could make some amazing things. Now, here I am, trying to reconnect with her through crochet. I am self taught, but I do have to admit I learned how to chain and make a double crochet stitch and that was it. From there I have tried many ways to teach myself, from online and library books. I haven’t bought any books because it’s either be able to afford some yarn or spend $20 or more on a book.
If I had this book, I would study it front to back. There are many new stitches I would like to learn, bullion stitch, pineapple stitch, overlaid chain are just a few I have never ever heard of before. I know I can learn all these stitches and hopefully be one day as great as my Grandmother.
I am a newsletter Subscriber!
I’d love to learn more shapes and motifs. I’m into flowers right now, and learning anything new to make new and exciting appliques and the like would be great!
I’m into making accessories, flowers, hairbands, bows, purses, etc…some of the stitches I would love to learn how to do is the tr2tog, dc2tog, love knot stitch. I have been looking into making a cool blanket/afghan but I haven’t found the right pattern and when I do the stitch seems a bit difficult at times so I put the pattern away for a later date and then tackle it again when my confidence level is higher and after doing some research on how to do the stitch. I want to also make more things that I can wear. I would love to have this book to look over from front to back and make notes in the margins…I normally don’t like to mark my books but here lately I find myself leaving little notes to myself on scraps of paper that I sometimes misplace so its just easier to mark the book and keep it all referenced in the same place. Thanks Rachel for the opportunity to get a chance for the book.
I’d go straight for the openwork and lace stitches! Although I have no idea what spike stitches and relief stitches are; obviously I need to improve my education!
I will like to know the fans and shells.
Ohhhh, I have wanted this book forever… I haven’t ordered it for two reasons. 1. For a long time amazon did not deliver to my country. 2. Now they do, but I am still volouneering, and have not got a job jet, so, crochet books are not at the top of the buying list at this point…
One of the things I would love to explore more are the Tunisian stitches. I have done some small projects with the basics of this technique and that has left me wanting for more…
Thanks!
I am a premium pattern member. I wouldn’t even know where to begin with all the listings in the book, would love to learn tunisian stitches, lace stitches. Best of all I read that the book is spiral bound which means it will lie flat and you can practice as read. Definitely a book to have to improve as I am a self taught crocheter.
I was looking at the index of this book and the stitch that looks like it would be interesting is the Turtle stitch. never hear of it
thank you for the oppurtunity to winn this crochet stitch bible.
I want ot learn how to work with shapes. and also it has nice tutorial for tunisian stitches which i have not tried yet.
The Crochet Stitch Bible looks like it has a lot of good information for a newbie like me. I would like to learn the fans and shells stitches…they look so beautiful. Thank you for this opportunity and God Bless
I would love to learn about lace. It’s so beautiful and timeless
I would love to learn the spike and soloman’s knot stitch.
I’m hoping to make a shawl for my mother in law, after she’s spent the year doing all numerous lovely things for me, and I’d love to be able to make a really fancy looking one for her because she deserves a treat.
Aside from those stitches, I mainly stick to the very basics, so it would be nice to extend my arsenal as it were!
I would love to learn the Mophead or the Bobble Stitch. I’ve been also trying to learn the Cluster Stitch but, have been having trouble. I understand the basics of it, I can just never get it to look right.
Oh there are so many stitches to learn- pineapple stitch, buillion stitch, tunisian stitch, spike stitch, and the list goes on and on. This is so kind of you to give this awesome book away! Good luck to all and I’m sure whoever is the lucky winner will enjoy this book immensely!!
I spend many hours helping the less fortunately ladies in our area to crochet, thus enabling them
to sell their items and earn extra income.
Your lovely stitches would be very helpful especially the Pineapple and crab stitch.Also i need to find many easy stitches.
thanks for your lovely site.
I’d love to learn some of the trims and edgings. That is usually my least favorite part of an afghan. I like to change them from the original designs and make new combos. Also the puff stitches. oh and the tunisian stitches I’ve wanted to learn that! I just love crocheting!! Shannon
Oops, I forgot to mention the stitch I would like to learn! I’d be curious to see how the rake stitch and the thistle stitch are worked.
This book would be so great to have!! I just started to learn and I also joined a fiber group at my library that meets every Wednesday and I would love to be able to share what I can learn with the group as I’m the only one who crochets in the group. This book would definitely be a great teaching tool. I would love to learn the pineapple and puff stitch…I think these would be nice in a pattern for an afghan…
I’ve never made a Tunisian stitch…I’d love to learn this. Thanks for the book review and giveaway. Smiles, Sally
Hi Rachel, I couldn’t find the stitches for some reason? But I would love to learn all the stitches in the book. I’m always trying to learn more stitches. I guess one of the stitches I would like to learn are lacey stitches for when I do clothes.
I would love to learn more lace stitches and relief stitches.
I’m very interested in the tunisian stitch and broomstick lace and any others that I’ve not tried yet!
I would love to learn more about Tunisian crochet method, and the open loop chain stitch.
I am fairly new to crochet so the stitches I’d like to learn are probably pretty basic to most. I’d love to learn them all, but I REALLY want to learn to do shells. I’ve seen some gorgeous afghans made with the shell pattern. Thanks for the opportunity to win this book. My fingers are crossed!
There are so many great stitches in this book, I want to learn them all! I’m really just starting to do some designing of my own patterns, so having a reference of different stitches to use would really help generate some ideas and also lend some variety to my patterns. I especially want to look at the bead stitches, because I’d really like to use beads more to emellish all sortsof things.
This looks like a fantastic book! I would love to own it! Thank you for offering it in a giveaway. I looked through the first pages of it on Amazon and I noticed there is a spike stitch and a Solomon’s knot stitch. I have never heard of these and would love to learn them!
Have a blessed day,
Diane
I have actually never done any bobbles. I saw a woman I worked with a few years back make a yellow baby blanket with bobbles every few stitches. Very cute!
Among others, I would love to learn the chain loop stitch pictured in the view of the book, and those motifs and squares depicted were fantastic. Also that zig-zag looking overstitch…wow! This book is a “must have” I believe!
OK, Since im a newbie at crocheting and i have taught myself with no help but the internet and books let me say i would love to learn all these stitches!!!! But When i took a look at the book i just loved how the chain loop stitch looked! So that would be the first one i would try!!! Thanks soooo much! I really would enjoy this book ! ; )
What the heck are spike stitches? There are so many stitches in this book I have never heard of. And I would love to learn how to make more shapes. This looks like a great book!
I’m intrigued by all the edgings and trimmings in the book. I’ve seen a lot of stitches elsewhere, and on lots of sites, but not as many pretty edgings. So that’s what I’m looking forward to.
Thanks!

I’ve always been afraid to try tunisian crochet, and certainly didn’t know there were so many varieties of tunisian stitches. I would like to try this new/old form of crocheting!
Thank you for this giveaway Rachel! I’ve been a Crochet Spot subscriber for a while now, and love to see the updates each week!
How can I choose just one type of stitch to learn? That book would be an AMAZING learning resource! 🙂 I think though, looking at the table of contents, the section that most interests me would be the openwork/lace section. 🙂
Good luck to all those participating in the giveaway!
Thanks again Rachel! 🙂
I have been a crocheter for many years but have recently admired the tunisian stitch and would love to learn that and this book would be of great help I am sure. There are so many stitches i have no tried and so this book would be a valuable resource for me.
I would love to learn Tunisian stitches. I’ve been crocheting for well over 35 years and have never taken the time to learn Tunisian…now I’d really like to learn those stitches.
Would love to learn the tunisian basketweave and honeycomb stitches 🙂
Please enter me in your wonderful giveaway – Thanks!
As a new crocheter (about 6 months), a book like this would be amazing! I would love to learn mesh & filet. I would also like to learn tunisian. I have never even heard of spike stitch!!!
Thank you so much for this opportunity!

I’d love a copy of this book because I’m truly addicted to crocheting! In fact, I have designed business cards with my logo “Chronic Crochet” and have been selling a few items at a local craft shop. Right now I make mostly hats, headbands, wristlets and scarves with an occasional shawl or afghan. I consider myself an advanced beginner or intermediate as far as my crochet skills and would love to learn more… particularly lace and open stitchwork.
As someone who has crocheted for a long time I have often overlooked this book until I read your review. Now I cannot wait to get my hands on it, I would love to learn about the Tunisian stitches, how to read symbol charts, and the vast amount of stitches that I have never heard of.
I want to learn any kind of textured stitch that will give items a unique feel to them.
I’d like to learn about Tunisian stitches. I’ve seen some patterns using tunisian stitch and I’d love to give it a try. i would also like to learn spike, textured, and open work and lace stitches
I would love to learn more crochet period, I just started about a year ago and I’m Hooked! Still learning new tips and tricks each time I crochet. I love the bottom stitches used on the cover of this book…they seem complex but I could do it with practice. This would be a great book to have for a reference. Granny squares are my next obsession.
would love to learn more on tunisian and lace work.
What a fantastic looking book! I have seen this in the bookstore but I have never actually looked inside it. I would love to learn crochet cable stitches. They look so wonderful. I must admit…they scare me a bit..I think if I had a way to sit and following something step by step it would help.
Thank you for the giveaway opportunity! (=
I would so love to own this book to learn ANY of the more beautiful stitches, so that I can create more hat and afghan patterns for charity, that are still simple but lovely. I also saw they teach ‘tunisian’ and that is definitely something I would like to learn. Bev
I’d love to learn the releif stitches and the tunisian crochet stitches.
Thanks for having this giveaway Rachel!
Just one thing?
Hmmm. Brick stitch, raised. Although I hardly know how to do any on that list.
