Suzanne McNeill

Good tool and bead type information. Clear photos and good basic instructions. Later in the book, some step instructions aren't clear, which isn't good for a beginner.

16 easy projects for making beautiful rugs from leftover fabric. Recycle old sheets, tablecloths, or curtains into beautiful new pieces of home décor. Create warm and cozy accents for your home or as gifts for friends and family. Simple, easy-to-learn crochet techniques that even beginners can pick up quickly. Variety of shapes include square, rectangular, hexagonal, oval, and heart-shaped patterns.

Nonfiction/craft. you have to look to the Great Internet to figure out how you want to make your closures (I like the button-and-loop not included in here), but the instructions are otherwise clear, well illustrated, and good. I can definitely see teens, tweens, and adults getting into this.
