I can’t even tell you the hours I use to spend in the bookstores looking for crochet patterns. Then the Internet came and searching was faster and easier, but a tactile need was lacking. There is something about sitting with a book on a bed, couch or toilet and browsing the pages of a good pattern book.
Below I put together some of my favorites that I have in my library or have just ordered. One of my absolute favorites is 200 Crochet Tips, and I just purchased Drew’s book The Crochet Dude’s Designs for Guys. I can’t wait for that to come in.
