I would love to own this great book! I really want to learn the wheel circle and also all the Tunisian stitches! I’ve seen so many projects using these stitches and I love them!
I’d love to learn all the new, exciting stitches, edgings, and trimmings…being able to look at a few pages was such a tease! I’m a crochet addict and think this book would be the ultimate!
Thank you for a WONDERFUL site!
I love to make clothing especially for children. I try to make my pieces unique so learning many of the stitches in the “Bible” would be wonderful. Relief stitches would be one of my first to learn and incorporate in my crochet work.
Hi Rachel; The stitches I want to learn are the spike stitches, releif stitches and the symbols for stitches. And all the other ones I dont know. Thanks so much.
Blessings Connie
I would love to learn new stitches and this book looks wonderful! Lace stitches, Tunisian and especially edgings and trims would be first on my list on expanding my stitch knowledge.
i love the broomstick but have yet to find a pattern i can actually follow! love the site, thanks for all your helpful tips! 🙂
I love to crochet and for the most part am self taught. My grandmother showed me as a child but I forgot how. Now I have a passion for crocheting. I always have yarn and a full collection of hooks in my purse. Whenever I am waiting on my children at their various activities I am crocheting. My favorite thing to crochet is flowers. I make them for everyone. I give them to charities and pastors to give out as they see fit or to sell. I am always looking for new stitches to try and use to make the flowers more beautiful. I have seen tunisian crochet written about but I have no clue what it is. Thank you for this chance to win this book. I look forward to your news letter each Monday.
That is a great book!! I would love to learn the bookmark lace. Beautiful!!
I would love to learn more afghan / tunisian and ones that look like knitting!! This book looks incredible!
I’d really like to get my hands on this book because I would love to learn some new stitches and it is in English. Mostly I have to buy books in French (guess where I live?) but even just to learn some new edging, instead of edging everything with shells, would be great!.
I would like to learn more about doing motifs and joining them.
Hi Rachel,
I am an advanced beginner crocheter. I have learned through many trial and error sittings with Mr. Froggy right by my side. I have just used resources that I can find online with direction and guidance for certain stitches, which is a task in and of itself. When I don’t have pictures to follow, I’m pretty sure I make up my own stitch and pattern, haha. Sometimes it comes out nice so that’s a plus.
Anyways, I have looked over The Crochet Stitch Bible when I was at Barnes and Noble awhile back and put it on my list for future endeavors. I love all the pictures it has, showing steps and closeups! I would definitely use this as a reference to check if my stitches have been correct for the past year. My real interests are to learn more stitches such as Spike and Relief stitches. I would absolutely love to learn Mesh and Filet stitches so I can use them in my wedding next year.
Thanks for the opportunity to have such a great book! ~ Natalie
As a knitter who doesn’t know much more than single and double crochet, I would love this book just to learn some fancy crochet stitches! I love lace knitting, and I would be very interested to learn lace crochet!
I would love to learn some tunisian stitches and some of the more advanced stitches. I also think it would be a great reference for stitiches I have done, but need a refresher in because I don’t do them that often.
I have wanted this book for quite some time…so am most glad you are holding this giveaway.
The fact that it is spiral bound is a super feature.
Thanks again for having the giveaway.
Good luck to all!
I want to learn broomstick. Anything that is lacy I’m interested in right now.
I’d love to learn some fan and shell type stitches. Also edging stitches and motifs are useful for embellishing other items you’ve sewn, knitted or purchased, as well as your crocheted items.
Wow….this book looks amazing!
I am just starting to branch out into the realm of different/decorative stitches so this is like candy to me— From the index, I find that there are more stitches that sound fun to try than I can count. Broomstick lace, dogwood, pineapple, Iris…..I could go on for about 15 more lines listing almost everything in there 🙂
Oh man, where do I begin!!!! I would ust this book for new stitches and edgings and….well just about everything! I love how the book is bound there is nothing worse than fighting to keep your page open!
Thank you for the opportunity to win this book 🙂
I would like to learn about over layed stitches used over crocheted mesh.
From the surprise me pages, I was interested in these stitches: Diamond Scale, Sea Stitch, Spiral Hexagon, Two-color brick stitch. Some of those looked like they’d be really interesting for an afghan, something that I’ve just gotten up the courage to attempt. And I’ve just started Tunisian crocheting, which I’d love to find more info on. A copy of this book would definitely be awesome.
I would love to win a copy of this book. For the most part, I am advanced beginner. I had a friend teach me the basics and the rest I have learned on my own. My friend has since moved and I have no referance to keep on hand to learn new things. I do not know any more stiches then SC, DC, and HDC. I would love to learn how to lace trim and edge.
Thanks for your time in reading my comment
Hi ya,
I have many books and leaflets, but this would be a great and needed addition to my collection, I would love to do better at the boullion stitch, the more complicated stitches such as star, galaxy, love knot, as for me, these are harder ones to get down pat. thanks for the offer Rachael, how nice to share! Many thanks for your work in the craft! katie, from Nebraska.
I would love to learn more about Tunisian crochet – I just got my first hook of that sort recently and would love to know more about it. I also want to learn some more about patterns, ripples/shells, etc. and how to count for the foundation chain to come out with the right amount.
This is perfect i am always coming across patterns with dfference stitches that i dont know how to do. crochet alot especialy doll clothes. If u notice i also can’t spell. This would be heaven. a freind of mine had a filet doiley i tried to copy it but it didn’t turn out right because i didn’t know the stitches. Thanks for doing this good luck to eveyone
IAh! That book looks so good…. I really really wanna learn the fan stitch, the cluster stitch and the spike stitch, they look so fun!
I would really love to learn any stitches that help me make better amigurumi! And also those stitches you can do on top on one another to make cable like knitting.
I LOVE this book. I am always checking it out of my library. I have been wanting to own it for a while. I am game for any new stitches! There are a couple motif patterns in there that I have been wanting to try!
I love doing tunisian crochet but want to learn to do some of the more advanced stitches. I like trying new stitches and patterns and turning them into scarves or dishcloths for charity.
I want to better learn how to do tunisian, But love to learn any stitch that improves my projects.
I love learning new stitches. I want to learn to fillet stitch to make a nice table runner I have a pattern for. Also, I need a book to teach me how to do flowers and other decorative things.
I’ve been looking at this book for sometime on Amazon. I’d love a copy, is on my wish list! The stitches that sound interesting to learn would be the Thistle stitch and Paddle stitch, haven’t heard of those two before.
What a fun contest; thanks Rachel!
I’m still a beginer kind of crocheter so I’d love to learn just about EVERY stich in the Crochet Stich Bible! There is so much about crochet I don’t yet know.
However, to name a specific one, I think the Tunisian sounds very exotic and fun to learn.
Hello –
I would like to learn Tunisian and Filet stitches.
Thank you so much for sharing!
I would love to learn the broomstick lace stitch along with reverse stitch crocheting, the specialty stitches and spike stitches. Thank you
I’d be interested in learning the afghan stitch. I can do the basic stitch but would I’d like to learn more.
I’m a beginner and would like to learn and understand the filet stitch.
Hi Rachel,
I really like the way the Crochet Bible gives a little summary of the stitches right under the name of the stitch. I’d like to learn the Bamboo stitch as well as some edging stitches. Thanks for this opportunity!
I would love to learn new stiches, I like to make up my own scarf and hats so learning new stiches can allow new exciting designs. I would love to learn special stiches and things like the basket weave and seed stich.
I would like to learn all the stitches that are required to make certain patterns. I am a show me person and I would appreciate having this book. I am a widow living on a fixed income so I cannot afford to buy the book. Thank you

This book looks awesome! I really want to learn how to make the cable stitch. I’ve tried a few times before, but always ended up in frustration and finding an easier pattern. But that stitch looks so cool on winter items! Looking through the contents, I saw a few other stitches that I’ve never heard of before and would love to try. Sounds like a book that all levels of experience can benefit from.
This book looks like a great resource! I’d love to learn more about textured stitches and relief stitches. Thanks very much for offering your extra copy.
This seems to be a great book! I do crochet for a long time, but mainly the basic stitches. No one around me is able to show me any stitches like bobbles or clusters. I’ve seen so great pieces of work with those stitches, so they would be the very first to learn and use on a project I bear in mind for a long time already.
Hi Rachel,
I would like to learn the tunisian stitch and also the wave stitch. I would love to crochet a skirt for my daughters using these techniques.
There are so many great stitches inside, I can’t even decide which one to learn first. However, I think I would give the spike stitches a try, sounds very interesting to me.
I love Filet Crochet so would like to learn more about the stitches involved in this form of crochet.
Thank you
I would love to learn tunisian crochet as well as filet stitches. Really I have so much to learn!!! Please help!!
I recently discovered crochet after I managed to break my elbow (my knitting was bad before – worse now! LOL)
I’m trying to advance beyond single/double crochet & deciphering the pattern symbols, and would love to be able to create the lace effects – simple CHristmas presents if I start now for my Mum & mother-in-law!
This book looks perfect to have sitting when you attempt any project, with plenty of inspiration for new patterns & styles! Love it!
I’d love to learn the filet stitches, the textured stitches, the cluster, puff, and bobbles, and the spike stitches.
I’d like to learn many of the stitches covered in this book. I liked several of the textured stitches (particularly the spider and paired stitches). I’d also like to learn to read diagram patterns instead of only written ones.
There are so many stitches I want to learn! I was unable to see a lot of specific stitches in the Amazon views, but the titles of some chapters intrigued me: Spike Stiches! Woot! Is that crochet that looks like Buffy’s love interest/nemesis? ;P Also like the idea of Relief Stitches. I’m a texture kinda girl and those sound right up my alley!
