3.0 out of 5 stars Repeats of recent BH&G crochet magazine patterns, September 8, 2007

If you already have the recent issues of BH&G's Easy Crochet, don't get this book! I have seen most (if not all) the patterns in the magazine. I was so disappointed I wasn't getting some new patterns. And my favorite ones aren't even in there, although the Juliet cap and bolero on the cover are truly beautiful. There are not a lot of patterns in the "easy" category, so if you don't already get the magazine and are an experienced crocheter, you might like this book. But don't get TOO excited. The book is rather thin. It only contains 13-14 patterns, and is bound like a magazine, although slicker.

The upside to the book (in addition to the Juliet cap and bolero) is a great crocheted dress, but like many other crocheted dresses, it will need a full slip.
