Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Tunisian Crochet Kindle Edition

Disappointing. I had hoped for better instruction on basic stitches. The written piece is clear enough but the pictures provided don't line up with the written portions, often being on a different page. Also disappointing are the patterns which focus on those that look like knitting. As a knitter if i want that look, I'll knit something. The Tunisian crochet has a unique and beautiful look, and it would have been nice to have some beginner patterns that showcase that.

While I have only been crocheting for several years now, from the start I found and fell in love with Tunisian/Afghan crochet. Kim Guzman's book is one that should be at least looked at for those just starting to familiarize themselves with the style and the projects she includes are both easily understood/followed and can make for great gifts to family/friends. There are several basic stitches covered with this book, Tunisian Simple Stitch, Knit Stitch, Reverse Stitch, Extended Stitch and one or two others that are enough to keep you busy working the projects in the book as well coming up with some on your own.Instructions are easy to follow and are accompanied by pictures to allow you to see exactly what is being described. Some of the pictures however can be a bit difficult to determine just exactly what is going on due to the selection of yarn/color of yarn. Not many mind you, one or two that come to mind and if you have trouble with those in the book you can just go to her website where she has tutorials.This book is one that can lead to many hours of crocheting bliss as well some fantastic ideas for creating your own designs.

I actually started a tunisian pattern in a different book, but the instructions were not very clear. I ended up using the instructions in this book to help me on my first tunisian pattern and the instructions in this book are very clear and easy to understand.

This book has nice photos and written instruction for learning Tunisian Crochet. If when reading through the pages, you don't get something. Stitch it out and compare to photos.I found the drawings a bit confusing as the step they describe and the process don't jive in my mind. If I were to show what they intended, I would show it differently. Deciphering how someone else sees steps would require more drawings or a different one. I was able to figure it out and it is an enjoyable new technique.

Great book for beginners: you can take your time learning how to Tunisian crochet. Great pictures for visual readers.

Very useful in learning Tunisian crochet, I was able to learn myself from this book.

Great instructional book on learning the method of learning Tunisian Stitch.

Disappointing. I want to learn more tunisian stitches and bought this book because other reviewers said it had good pictures that showed the stitches. It does but the instructions are still hard for me to understand. I started to make the cowl but you need to ch 156 and I couldn't fit 156 stitches on my hook. Not sure how you make bigger pieces. I'll keep at it. I saw the same book at ACMoore.

I don't consider myself a complete beginner but got this in the hope the patterns would be interesting. Was very pleased to see the cabled mittens but the pattern is actually pretty badly written and difficult to follow. I also find the wool and gauge results in a very thick, stiff fabric. Will modify this pattern to suit more. The beauty of Tunisian is the fabulous drape you can get even using chunky wools. Wouldn't say it's for complete beginners as it doesn't really explain everything clearly. I'm sure it will have its uses but as a stand alone beginners book I'm not so sure

Not what I expected. Too many patterns and not enough info about the stitches and techniques. Totally misrepresented. If you are a beginner don't buy this book unless you only want to learn 4 stitches. The photographs in the instructions appear to jump all over the place with pictures of totally unrelated stitches appearing in the middle of the instructions for a different stitch. The patterns, while simple, are completely unsuitable for beginners as they would take forever to finish. I wish I'd never bought this.

Just right for my purposes.I am very good at crochet, and recently started learning Tunisian crochet, so I just wanted a simple book with a few more options for stitches and projects to improve my TC with. The projects aren't all just scarves either so plenty of nice ideas to get to grips with!

A good starting point for tunisian crochet. Shows the basic stitches and some easy patterns to start with for you

Fairly easy instructions but all projects were large therefore a bit daunting. Book much thinner than expected.
