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 for crafting delicate to fashionable new trends, she shows us that the sky is your limit when it comes to crafting and creating with crochet.
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!

This is a decent stitch dictionary. Some of the stitch names are definitely NOT the standard name associated with those stitches, which will make things confusing for the user. I’m a professional crochet pattern designer, so I know that this will lead to confusion, especially for less experienced crocheters.

This is a lovely book if you want to expand your crochet with new stitches. It explains how to do the new stitches in an easy to understand description. It is also a good book if you have been crocheting for a while as there might be stitches in here that you have not come across before.

Excellent resource, with full-colour photos of the stitches, and explanations in text and stitch diagrams. The colourwork section is especially interesting. Valuable for advanced crocheters, and inspiring for learners.

This is a companion to Essential Crochet Starter Stitches and provides the same excellent stitch dictionary but with more advanced stitches. As someone who's only recently started learning, most of these are a bit out of my range but I loved looking through the pretty designs and appreciated the clear instructions and resources section.

I'll update my review when I've gotten skilled enough to actually try some of these but I'm excited to see how many different options there are. I've done cables in knitting and it's fun to see similar options for crochet. Definitely would recommend for folks who are familiar with the craft and want to try something new.

This is an amazing book on how to do more advanced crochet stitches. I loved how the book gave color pictures of the different stitches and easy to understand step-by-step instructions. I will definitely be buying a copy of this book so I can own it physically.
This is great for those that have been crocheting at least a few months and is ready for more challenging work.

Huge thanks to NetGalley for an ARC of this book!

These books from Melissa Leapman are a pair of stitch dictionaries for beginner to advanced crochet artists. She provides patterns that can serve as the starting point for designing patterns, or for personalizing others' designs. The patterns offer a range of complexity, but they are broken down into easy to use steps, both charted and written. In the back of the books are detailed drawings of the various stitch techniques (for those of us old-school enough to prefer drawings over online videos!)

I'm a lifelong knitter, with only basic crochet skills, but I found these books intriguing and accessible. I see a pile of sampler/dish cloths in my near future!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I found this book to be perfect for more advanced crocheters. It was very clear and easy to follow. Also kind of a random note but I liked how they kept the yarn color in the same family for each section. It kept you focused more on what you were supposed to focus on. Great book to take your projects to the next level!

A great list of really cool stitch ideas. The diagrams and instructions are written in the usual way but maybe some pages of explainers. breakdowns of how to read a pattern etc would be helpful.

This is a very helpful book for taking crochet to the next level. I appreciated how the different designs incorporated step-by-step instructions. Thank you to Melissa Leapman, Quarry Books, and Netgalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.

After reading Essential Crochet Starter Stitches, I think this book is a terrific follow-up. More of what made the first book such a good resource - with even more stitches that I have never encountered before but cannot wait to try. I am especially intrigued by some of the textured stitches ( hello, cable stitches!). Thank you, NetGalley and Quarto Publishing, for a copy of this book which I know I will be turning to time and time again for reference.

As a beginner crochet artist looks to expand their skills and looks at more complicated patterns, this book is an invaluable resource. I'm teaching several classes and my students are now ready to expand their skills. Melissa Leapman has given clear guidance in an easy to follow format. The stitches can be combined in any manner to create beautiful mementoes for friends and family

This is a wonderful reference and I'm so excited to use it more in my winter crocheting! Readable, understandable, and gave me the confidence to try them. Thank you for all of the work that went into it!

Love this, really liked the both the written and visual instructions an excellent advance on the Leapman's Essential 'Crochet Starter Stitches'.

Would 100% buy this as a quick reference.

While reading through Melissa Leapman's Essential Crochet Next Level Stitches I found that the instructions and crochet charts were easy to follow. There are several stitches that I hadn't come across before, but am excited to try.

This book will become part of my crochet book collection once released.

I found the diagrams in this book to extremely clear and helpful! It made learning some more intermediate and difficult stitches very easy. I'd absolutely recommend this book for anyone who is looking to learn more about crocheting.

After reading Essential Crochet Starter Stitches, I received an e-ARC of Essential Crochet Next-Level Stitches! As a beginner in crochet, it’s wonderful to have this follow-up guide to help me advance my skills.

Like the first book in this series, Next-Level Stitches is beautifully laid out, easy to navigate, and organized to help you find exactly what you need. The instructions are clear, and the accompanying images make each technique easy to follow. Covering textures, colourwork, and fancy edgings, this book is a fantastic resource for crocheters looking to take their skills to the next level.

I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to expand their crochet repertoire and add flair to their projects. I’m especially excited to try some of the advanced stitches and edgings to finish off my own creations with style!
