"Hello! We're Tiffany and Hannah, the mom and daughter behind Daisy Farm Crafts, and this book is a quick reference guide for our favorite crochet stitches! Since we are often designing baby blankets, we really wanted to create a simple book where we could easily access pictures and instructions of our favorite stitches, and we thought you might enjoy one, too! We did our best to explain these stitches in a way we hope makes sense, but if you do find yourself needing some more visual help, you can find videos for all the stitches in this book on the Daisy Farm Crafts YouTube Channel. All the stitch instructions in this book are also available for free on daisyfarmcrafts.com." --
