Intermediate crotchet

Hi I'm looking for book recommendations.

I've done an absolute beginners book. I've done baby hats, both from squares and round. Blanket and basic granny square. I've learnt all I can from the book I have.

I would like a book with intermediate projects but I would still like it to give instructions, so not just a book of patterns.

Can anyone recommend anything.

Attic24 does lots of pictures. She's kniwn for blankets but also does other things.

TBH, I would head off to Ravelry and dive into the rabbit hole that is their pattern database.

What sort of things would you like to make?

Another vote for the joys of Ravelry.

There's also lots of people about on the forums there who might be able to point you in the right direction.

Another vote for ravelry. YouTube is a great resource too, either for learning newer, more complicated stitches that you come across in patterns on ravelry or for full patterns that you can crochet along with.

What about a crochet Along? (Cal). There’s usually a Facebook group with lots of help.
I’m doing the style craft Cosmic one at the mo. It’s fiddly but there’s video tutorials for every bit.

YouTube videos have been really helpful with learning.

I'll check out Ravelry.

I'd like to be able to baby clothes.

I often prefer a resource like Ravelry to a book as you only get things you want rather than a few patterns you love, some you are “meh” about and a few you hate.

Depending on your taste, WH Smith sell a special magbook by Mollie Makes for crochet.

The Bella Coco crochet Facebook group is good inspiration for new patterns too.

How about a couple of magazines (from supermarket or newsagent which stocks a wide range). Simply Crochet is a nice one.
