Ok, let us first start with a review of Book Crochet:
I was impressed with Book Crochet plain and simple. When I placed my order, I had in in my hands within 3 days and the price was great. The key is looking for a seller with over a 100 feedback rating on Ebay. I’ve even included the top Ebay listings to Book Crochet in this review to make it even easier on you.
What is a really good book for learning to crochet baby blankets for a complete beginner?
I have absolutely no idea what to do. Also, videos would be helpful. I really want to make a baby blanket for my sister who is 2 months pregnant.

Most of the books give you the directions for all stitches needed to create the patterns within. I tend to look back at my crocheting for dummies book often. It will teach you all the basics plus teach you how to adapt patterns for different sizes.Once you get the stitches down… which I’m sure you will, I find crochet easier than knitting… there are some really good pattern books called hooked on toddlers/babies or hooked for toddlers/babiesthe patterns are easy and they give directions from baby sizes all the way to toddler sizes.

There are a number of standard crochet terms and abbreviations that are frequently used. Some of these crochet terms pertain to the various stitches used in a section of a pattern, while others refer to colors. MC is the crochet term for the main color that is used in a pattern.CC is the secondary or contrasting color used.YO means to wrap the yarn over the hook andCH is the crochet term for a chain stitch. There are even more standard crochet terms:sc- which means single crochetdc- meaning double crochet.hdc- means half-double crochet stitchestr- means treble crochet stitchSl- means slip stitchSingle crochet and double crochet are simply different ways of stitching; all of the terms used are based on a single crochet stitch, which means inserting the crochet hook into a stitch, and wrapping the yarn around the hook and drawing the hook back through the stitch, wrapping the yarn over the hook and lastly drawing through both loops. http://easycrochetpatterns.net/know-your-crochet-terms/

Are you more visual or auditory, when it comes to learning styles? Go to the crafts supplies store and look at the different books they have available for beginning crocheters. If you’re a stronger auditory learner, get one with more words and good descriptions on how to do things. Read it aloud to yourself as you learn. You’ll feel a little silly, perhaps, but the cats won’t mind. Do this when only you and the cats are home, of course. If you’re more of a visual learner, get a book with good illustrations and less writing. That will make more sense to you if you’re a visual learner.I knit, but was taught by a friend. I still think that’s the best way to learn a new skill. Maybe your local crafts supplies shop is having crocheting classes sometime soon. It can’t hurt to ask. I have found the repetitive motion of knitting to be very good for my stiff, sore hands and fingers. When my arthritis gets too uncomfortable, I get the knitting back out, even in the summer! It really helps.

Check out Leisure Arts “I Can’t Believe I’m Crocheting”:http://www.leisurearts.com/all_skills/crochet/default.asp?display=detail&item_num=4061&sort=title&page=24&rec_num=230&from=BK&startRec=230It’s a good reference book to have on hand, especially if you’re away from home and need to check something out. I bought a previous edition and referred to it often when I was learning to crochet.They also make a DVD in case you need more visual teaching:http://www.leisurearts.com/customer_care/search/item_detail.asp?item_num=3915&page=1&rec_num=0&startRec=0&skill=KC&search=3915Here’s a Preview of that DVD:http://youtube.com/watch?v=LZPT49lYORU&feature=relatedOf course, there are sites on the net which you can refer to and even print and keep in your crochet tote. The one I like best is the Crochet Guild of America:http://www.crochet.org/Look under resources. They even have instructions for lefties!
There are lots of resources in YouTube.com. So far, this lady explains things very well, like you’re in kindergarden!http://youtube.com/watch?v=hVBnFHGbeK4&feature=relatedHope this helps!

I don’t have the book and have not seen the pattern before but what I am wondering is this, are you trying to find a way to connect them together? Are you looking for an edging. e-mail me with this information and I {hopefully} will be able to help you. I have been into this {stuff} for many years so have some knowledge.
