First of all, we have A to Z of Crochet, which is a really cool reference book that is perfect for the beginner. This book starts at the very beginning and leaves no stone unturned! If you want to learn crochet from a book, this is a great one to use. Every time it teaches you a new stitch or technique, it will also give you step-by-step photos. Topics range from holding a hook, to basic stitches, to more advanced stitches and even finishing touches. Get yours here.
Next, Teach Yourself Visually Crochet is another great option for beginners. It is very similar to the previous book, if not even MORE comprehensive. One thing I noticed is that the section on gauge and following a pattern seems to be longer and in more depth. It also has a section on tunisian crochet! While the look and feel is slightly outdated, I believe this is the book I would choose if I was learning crochet! As the title suggests, it has photos to go along with everything it teaches. Get yours here.
Another super cool book is The New Tunisian Crochet, by Dora Ohrenstein. I have loved looking through this book for years! It has an introduction teaching you the basics of tunisan crochet, but with illustrations not photos. The focus on this book is definitely on the actual projects and stitches. There is 30 pages of unique tunisian stitches that are truly stunning! Along with about 60 pages of patterns that range from tops to accessories to home decor.

Hi Jacqui! Good luck learning to crochet this year. You will love it! My youngest is left-handed, so I teach him that way. If you can, find a teacher who can demonstrate left-handed for you. Or, sit directly across from someone crocheting right-handed and see if that helps.
