Like Katy Perry, my friends used to call me "the biggest nana on the block"...

but they immediately changed their minds when they saw how my multicolored creations changed and brightened up my apartment and my life.

If you’re like me and have an uncontrollable passion for colored yarn, in Crochet for Beginners you can find my personal method, which I like to call “Mantra Crochet”, a fusion of 11 simple and intuitive steps to get you started on the colorful journey for a better physical and mental health (left-handed people included!).

If you decide to embark on this trip, you’ll soon realize how simple crocheting really is. By repeating a few basic stitches, you will be able to create marvelous pieces in no time.

You’ll be surprised of how many moments you can find in your day-to-day life for this relaxing activity, and its positive effects on your mental health after just a few weeks of practice.

You may be wondering: “Isn’t crochet just an old and boring embroidery activity?”

My name is Sarah, I’m 36 years old and I used to think that myself. After my grandmother passed away, I found her notes and designs and decided one day to give it a go: from boring and difficult, crocheting became simple and relaxing. From that moment, I started to put my hectic life in order, one loop at a time.

Mantra Crochet helped me better manage my stressful life as a working mother and gave me the possibility to socialize with other moms at my daughter’s school (it’s an excellent conversation starter!). I am now a happier, calmer and more focused person.

Crocheting also helps you relax before going to bed, for a deep and restful sleep, or keeps your hands busy and off the junk food while watching television.

Not convinced yet? What if I told you that many psychologists and many researches recommend crochet for its many benefits? Today you can find many testimonials and research, such as those of THE AMERICAN COUNSELING ASSOCIATION, CRAFT YARN COUNCIL, etc.

With Crochet for Beginners you won’t have to go around the internet in search of the tools and knowledge to begin your adventure. In this book, with more than 70 photos and illustrations, I have gathered everything you need:

✓   a useful guide to find your way around many tools and materials
