I recommend it more strongly that! I crochet since 1 year, completely self taught, and this book is a pure visual wonder, firstly, and secondly, the explanations are super simple to follow! I can no longer stop to pick these soft toys and invent also because when you have the foundation we can do whatever we want! You will not be disappointed with your purchase unlike some books where the coverage is just nice! all models are too beautiful Thank you Sandrine! Valerie
