Review: There are some great projects in this book for anyone looking to freshen up on their crochet skills. I was also very impressed with many of the other features that were included in this book. Leisure Arts and Sharon Silverman have thought of everything! The book starts by refreshing you with the easiest stitches first and then works harder stitches and techniques into subsequent projects. It covers everything like the basics of sc and hdc, to changing colors and post stitches. In addition to photos for almost all the stitches used in the book, they also have photos for left handed crocheters. There is also general information (gauge, terms, abbreviations, blocking, and more).

Bonus: There are links in the ebook that will take you to online video tutorials. I believe this is an invaluable tool for those who are visual learners.

Happy Crocheting!

  • Good morning,
    I sure would love to win this copy, of Crochet Refresher. I taught myself to crochet about 3 years ago and I still am learning. I would love to learn to make the plaid blanket.
    Thank you and Leisure Arts for offering this to us.

  • That look like a really neat book. I’d like to help my daughter with learning to crochet. Love, love, love the puff blanket!!

  • I like the puff blanket. I really enjoy using patterns from Leisure Arts not only because of their tutorials but they respond quickly to my questions

  • The Puffs Blanket is simple and elegant. A great refresher project to give a Crochet person that extra confidence especially as you could give it as a gift for a newborn to a person with a few more years behind them. The Circle of Love blanket is made lovely with the color of the yarn also. All very nice, hard to choose.

  • Winning the Crochet Refresher would be a blessing. I crochet and love the art of crocheting. The Crochet Refresher would give me additional item to crochet and give away as gifts. Thank you for the chance to enter and win this great prize.

  • I need to make some washcloths but absolutely love the puff stitch blanket! And really, I would give it to my mom to help her with a refresher and understanding written patterns. :)

  • I would make either the baby blanket or the wash clothes…baby blanket may win out since I have a friend expecting in February. :)
