Japanese Crochet Doily Book

I just got a new Japanese Crochet Doily Books.  One is mainly are Pineapple Doilies, the other one is "motifs doilies".  They both are very beautiful books.  The patterns are very unique and gorgeous.  The best part about these two doilies is that they have crochet charts.  I love crochet doilies, but I hate reading instructions, because they always confuse me.  With crochet chart, it is so much easier.

Also, there are not too many "motif doilies" and "pineapple doilies" books in US.  I really love to do motif doilies, because they are very small, it doesn't really take much time to do it.  I have 3 years old boy, I really don't have too much time that I can sit down and crochet without interruption.  So crochet motif doilies are perfect for me, I can crochet one small motif one at time.

Anyway, let review the books.  These books are available at my Etsy store.

Japanese Crochet Book - Motifs and Edging 300 Patterns

This is the best Crochet Motifs Book ever, it is like "Stitch Dictionary", it has 300 different motifs and edgings patterns.  You can use any of these patterns to design your own garments, purses, bags, shawls etc.  All patterns come with charts, so it is easy to follow.  I have so many ideas for my next (and next several) project.  If you love motifs, you will love this book.

It is available at my Etsy store.

Japanese Crochet Book - Lace Crochet for Beginners

I love this book, because I recently love to crochet lace, like doilies, filet crochet and irish crochet.  And this book covers all of them.  It doesn't only show you the instructions, it even has patterns (and it shows you how to do it step by step).

If you are interested in any lace crochet, this is a MUST HAVE.
