I love all of the Hitomi Shida & Gayle Roehm Japanese Stitch Books. They’ve got Kindle editions on Amazon, if you’re not eager to add big heavy paperbacks to your life right now.
No pattern, I just winged it, but it was so easy to work up cause I used this book my boyfriend got me for my birthday. It’s called ‘crochet every way’ and it’s the best (and first) crochet book I’ve found not kind of aimed at beginners, and really details the more intermediate stuff. the cape I made by starting at the neck hole with a length that was comfortable and matched the starting chain lengths for the stitch pattern I wanted, then the book shows you how to do internal increases to the stitches, and I just continued until I tan out of yarn and added a button. 100% recommend this book, I’m excited to try a more complex garment next https://www.amazon.com.au/Crochet-Every-Way-Stitch-Dictionary-ebook/dp/B07H1LCCY3
I was looking up related books online and reading through reviews to find a helpful one that has some good philosophy of fixing included and this book looked promising, though I haven't read it myself yet:

"Mending Life: A Handbook for Repairing Clothes and Hearts".
This is the book. It's also on my Wishlist. I want this book as I want to get a new hobby of sewing. I have tons of free time this summer so I want to utilise it fully! Reading is fun!
I had many other choices for ebooks but this is the only one under $1. It's INR 45 which is about $0.65. Thanks for this thoughtful contest!
Crochet Every Way Stitch Dictionary: 125 Essential Stitches to Crochet in Three Ways Kindle Edition
book on Amazon may have the solution
oof, that's a tough one! the short answer is basically trial and error, lol. you can find guides, but because every dye manufacturer has different recipes (and every fiber is different), it's tough to find or create a guide.
this might be worth looking into - it's out of print, but looks like the ebook is available and it has the kind of info you're looking for! pardon the amazon link, it was the only place that had the ebook in stock - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004RQD3LQ/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1
On the other hand, if you have a specific pantone color you're looking to achieve, this sub might be a great place to ask for that advice! That sounds like a really fun challenge, and there might be folks with recipes or tricks to get exactly the shade you're looking for!
EDIT TO ADD: US terms and UK terms are not the same! Make sure your pattern is in whichever terms you learn to crochet in. You can learn either one, whatever is more comfortable/convenient for you, but whatever you decide, make sure your patterns and any other information you find is in the same terms! Trust me, that’s not a mistake you want to make if you can avoid it. 😅
Original comment: There’s a book on amazon/kindle called The Crocheter’s Skill Building Workshop. You can get a print version or an ebook.
I’ve been crocheting 25+ years, since I was a child, and I’m finding it incredibly useful to refine my own skills. It’s very well written, extremely easy to understand, and has loads of solid advice and good pictures. In fact, it’s SO good that I have been putting aside all of my own previously-learned knowledge and going into this like it’s a class. I really enjoy it!
You can also YouTube any skill you’d like additional clarification on. YouTube is a really good source to see how things are done.
Circular Knitting Workshop has an excellent mix of instructions and explanations along with actual patterns,
Ann Budd's Handy Book of Patterns has patterns for mittens, gloves, basic vests & sweaters, hats, socks and scarves. All patterns are given with variable stitch gauge, so you figure out how many stitches per inch/cm YOU are getting with YOUR yarn and YOUR needles and then follow the pattern for that gauge. This is incredibly helpful when your supplies are limited, as it's much easier to look at a different line in the pattern than it is to haul yourself to the yarn shop to buy yet another different needle size to try to get gauge in a pattern written for only one gauge.
