I decided to buy this because I have been getting order forms in the crochet magazines that I collect... it looked like it would have some really *different* stitches in it! I was REALLY looking forward to getting this book!! The retail of it is $19.95 and it states, "Get the look and feel of knitting with crochet!" Not even close! The finished pieces are still just as thick as with regular crochet and you can see that they are crocheted because the main background stitch is Single Crochet, they just put a few decorative stitches in that are SIMILAR to knitting, but it is not IDENTICAL. I don't believe any of the stitches in the book actually made the work look knitted, and it certainly didn't have the lightweight feel that actual knitted garments have. You can find various crochet stitches online for free without having to waste $20 for this book. Don't waste your money.Read full review
I like the fact that each project has a knitted version shown next to the crocheted one. Of course, you can see only a slight difference but the crochet version looks better. Several projects to try.

The concept from knit to crochet was interesting, that is why I purchased the book, however, none of the crochet looked like knitting.

I agree with Karatechamp this book was misleading all it does is give you the crochet pattern's then show's a pictures that show's a knit then a crochet picture. There is nothing about knitting just the picture's to compare to what the knitted and the crochet pattern sitich's look's like.
The book came quickly and in great shape Has plenty patterns shows how to make stitches has great photos I think is should be a must on any crocheters list of must haves. I am very pleased thanks
