I received this book with great anticipation and was not disappointed. Well described guide to an advanced level of the crochet art including edgings and different textures, all explained in detail. A great addition to any crafter's library.

I can't wait to try out some of these stitches! I am still relatively new to crochet but some of these seem so easy to follow! I truly can't wait to give some a try! I will definitely be gifting this book to some of my more advanced crochet friends!

Anything with Melissa Leapman's name on it is worth reading and this book is no exception. The diagrams and instructions are clear and helpful plus there were several stitches I'd never seen before--and that's saying something since I have more crochet books than most libraries.

This is the next book in Melissa Leapmann’s collection of crochet stitches. The essential book took us from the every basic stitches which I found absolutely perfect for my beginners group at college. This one I am going to use to challenge the progression group to develop some of their techniques.
The book in itself I found well laid out with good clear explanations. My only annoyance was that being from the UK that conversion tables were at the back and not the front of the book. It does mean that there has to be a large sticker on the front cover to warn the students that this is in US terms so they have to convert every pattern before use.

This is an excellent book. The text and diagrams are clear, even when viewing though the NetGalley app. There are plenty of stitch patterns to keep the reader busy. I would definitely recommend this book to my fellow crocheters.

This book includes stitches for harder stitches in crochet. If you are ready to go to the next level, try this book. I learned a lot from it.

Essential Crochet Next-Level Stitches : Portable Stitch Companion: Textures, Colorwork, and Fancy Edgings. This book follows on from Essential Crochet Starter Stitches, the first book. It is another good instruction book for both beginner and more advanced crochet crafters. There are many more different types of stitches to add to the ones learned in the first book, and again each is explained with clear, easy to follow instructions and pictures. It is a great reference guide and idea resource book, and is full of additional tips and information

Essential Crochet Next-Level Stitches is a step-by-step guide to crocheting more complex patterns. It's a detailed guide that is helpful in creating intricate designs.

This book was a great follow up to the starter stiches book and goes more in depth into those stitches that are a little trickier. I appreciate the easy to follow instructions and photos. This would be a great book for someone who is looking to come a little out of their comfort zone, without feeling intimidated. thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

A really useful book with a wide range of stitches and clear instructions for each. There were some unusual stitches in here that I hadn't seen before and would love to try. A book I will buy to return to again and again.

Another great collection! I really appreciate the tips and clean layout of the book. Interesting stitches for more advanced crocheters. Makes it clear with the diagrams and step by step.

This is an excellent resource for someone who wants to move on from basic level stitches. The pictures are perfect for illustrating how to do the stitches and what kind of look you want for your project. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this.

This is a stitch library book I could definitely use. I love the variety of colorwork, crochet cables and other more challenging stitches in this collection, and I especially like that stitch diagrams are provided for each pattern..So many stitch libraries I've looked at are just recombinations of the same basic stitches with very few that actually present anything new to master for an intermediate crocheter. If the instructions for all of them prove as straightforward to follow as the one I am trying in my current project now (a capelet/shawl using the bobbles 'n ribs stitch pattern) this is likely to be a very useful book for any intermediate crocheter looking to add a bit more challenge to their projects. I suspect that even expert/advanced crocheters may not have mastered all these patterns yet. I'd love to see what the author would select for an advanced level stitch pattern book, though it may be a while before I am quite advanced enough to need more challenging patterns.

A very well constructed book, with clear explanations and explanatory diagrams. Combining symbols and written explanations is a very good idea, and the patterns offered are very varied. An essential book for any crochet enthusiast.

Great selection of stitches. Each stitch is explained with both written description and diagram. great work.

These are easy to follow along with for advanced crocheters. If I was starting another project or needed to look back for a specific stitch, this book would be great.

Melissa Leapman is back with another stunner of a guide, crammed with helpful insights, easy to understand terms, and more crochet designs than you knew was possible!

Perfect as a gift, a coffee table book, or the ultimate reference book, this encyclopaedia to crochet styles and techniques is what every crochet artist wished they knew. Wildly helpful, and easy to follow along, it's been a real treasure and a find!

I received a copy of this eBook from netGalley for a honest review.

What a great stich book for more advanced crocheters. The pictures show what you're trying to achieve and the instuctions are detailed.

As a mid level crocheter, I am always on the look out for patterns that are clear, concise and easy to understand. Most textured stitches are slightly complicated. Well, that's what make the pattern so beautiful.
This book has some amazing illustrations with clear instructions.
The ones that truly caught my eye were Stairsteps, Istanbul Mosaic, and Streamers.
The patterns have a diagram too, for people who follow symbols better than text.
If you are a collector of crochet books, then this one has to find a spot on your bookshelf.

Amazing book that has many crochet stitches. I love how detailed and easy the patterns are. I can’t wait to make crochet items with these beautiful stitches!
