I am an avid crocheter but sometimes need a little help remembering certain techniques. This book was easy to navigate and find what immediately what I needed help with. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Beginning Crochet-ing Resource Anywhere *by G***T on Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2011* When I was in my freshman year of college, I decided to pick up knitting and stumbled across the original Stitch 'N Bitch. Despite having NO crafting experience, the S'NB book got me knitting and even now, 8 years and many projects later, I still refer to it to refresh my memory on the more difficult stitches.When I decided to learn to crochet earlier this summer, I thought I could just watch some Youtube videos and Google my way into cute amigurumis and lacey shrugs. Why should I spend money on a how-to-book, when I already know how to knit? Wrong. It was totally unintuitive for me and my projects ended up a mess of confused stitches. I cracked and decided to purchase Happy Hooker; although Debbie Stoller had taught me how to knit, somehow I doubted Happy Hooker would be better than my Googling skills.SO WRONG. This book re-affirms that the Stitch 'N Bitch series are probably the best beginning craft resources out there. All the questions that erupted during my haphazard Googling adventures were casually included and answered throughout the instructions, as if Debbie Stoller read my mind. How do I count stitches that aren't on a hook? Where do I start a chain? For goodness sakes, how many blasted types of stitches are there anyways?! What, I need a turning stitch? Youtube didn't tell me that! This book even corrected some bad habits Youtubers had taught me: for example many Youtube videos demonstrated a single crochet as shoved inbetween the V stitches. Debbie Stoller actually acknowledged this technique (READ MY MIND) but highlighted its weaknesses and then provided several other single crochet options that produced better results. Seriously, I spent 20 minutes with the book and crocheted a beautiful lacey swatch to test out my skills and I felt so much more confident and less resentful toward the crochet needle. I've spent much more than 20 minutes chasing blog post leads and watching grainy videos with bad amateur explanations.The Stitch 'N Bitch series possess that rare quality in our modern society where a printed informational book can trump the World Wide Web many times over. Even though you can yes, technically find, process and use the information available across the internet, Debbie Stoller has beautifully consolidated, organized, edited and explained all the necessary steps for you to start corcheting without stress and worry. If you have no skills or are transitioning from knitting to crocheting definitely get this book. She even included a 3 page explanation on knitting vs. crocheting, a point I had been cursing throughout my difficult crocheting career (i.e. WHAT THE GOSH, KNITTING IS SO MUCH EASIER BAHH THROWS CROCHET NEEDLE AT TV). I really appreciated to read her interpretation of the differences of the techniques, community, culture and history of these two needle arts. Maybe I'm just a crafts dweeb, but I appreciated the lesson and discussion.8 years after my introduction, I am reminded on how much I have learned from and why I love this author. She should make one about sewing clothing. Please! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Almost hooked, but dropped a stitch or two.... *by S***M on Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2006* I've crocheted for years but my technique was very limited. At 13, I learned from a cousin who learned from her grandmother. The only stitches I did were double crochet and chain. When in doubt, I did what worked and sorta looked right. In the past few years, I searched the internet for more stitches and instructions to figure out the 'correct' way to crochet. Only a few sites were helpful.Since I learned how to knit from Debbie Stoller's knitting book, I was so excited when I heard she was writing a crocheting book. She gives some very interesting history about crochet and the tone of the book, though annoying to some, is fun and hip - which I believe is true to the author's personality. The illustrated examples are very helpful and for the most part, the written instructions are easy to follow.So why not 5 stars? There are some major flaws to the book. The book's publishing date was pushed back a number of times, suggesting more time was needed to finish it. Yet I would suggest even more time was needed. One of the patterns I love in the book is for fuzzy bunny slippers. So cute! But the pattern has SOOOO many errors in it. The stitch counts are incorrect, and at one point the directions say to chain 1 for a turning chain, but at the end of the round, it tells you to slip stitch into the 3rd turning chain. Was there not time to proof read and test the pattern?? It was frustrating to have to rework an entire pattern - though I'm experienced at crochet, I'm new to following patterns. This was the only pattern I've used from the book, so I do not know if other patterns also contained errors.Another issue I had was with the number of patterns in the book. The book seemed to be more patterns than instructions. I would have liked to see fewer patterns that included step by step photos so that as you could see what your item should be looking like (that would have soooo helped me with the bunny slippers!). The patterns are very Debbie Stoller-ish. They won't match everyone's taste.Overall, this book was great at helping me hone my crocheting technique and really helped me learn how to read a crochet pattern. I highly recommend it for its instructional value, not for the patterns included (with the exception of 2 or 3 patterns). I hope when this book is republished, they correct all the errors with the patterns. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.id/products/3141455-stitch-n-bitch-crochet-the-happy-hooker](https://www.desertcart.id/products/3141455-stitch-n-bitch-crochet-the-happy-hooker) --- *Product available on Desertcart Indonesia* *Store origin: ID* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
