Aimed at the beginner to intermediate crotchet enthusiast, these 25 stylish designs run the gamut of fashion accessories, from scarves and wraps to hats and mittens, ponchos, handbags, and more. The basic stitches needed and the finished projects they can produce are shown in diagrams and color photographs. There are details about choosing needles, yarns, and other materials, and each step of every project is completely explained, so even novices can get great results. The thoroughly modern designs include the delicate Poppy lacework scarf, a funky Raspberry beret, the Bluebell beach cover-up, and a Jelly Bean handbag that combines colorful flair with everyday functionality. Tips include working in rows and rounds, using increasing and decreasing stitches, blocking, and finishing techniques.

Fabulous, well written patterns for every level of crocheter!,
By Kai "K" (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crochet Designs: 25 Must-Have Items to Make (Paperback)
This is a very well written pattern book. The designs are new and funky and very up-to-date, and they make your fingers itch to grab a hook and start straight away.
One of the best things about it is the fact that there are very precise and clear instructions for each stitch in the back of it. The pictures are very clear as to how to make the right stitches. Very impressive. I would definitely recommend this book to any one new to crochet, or anyone wanting to learn. This guides you right from the basic, through to the more complicated patterns. Well worth having in your knitting/crochet book collection!

I bought this book without being able to see the contents. The patterns are too easy. I was expecting more shrugs & tops, but found mostly hats, ponchos, purses.

Designs are simple,
By CrochetQueen "Hook, Yarn and Needles" (Elko, NV United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crochet Designs: 25 Must-Have Items to Make (Paperback)
I am not that impressed with this book. The designs are very simple and in my opinion not that glamourous. There are scarves, shrugs, shawls, capelets, a poncho, 2 hats, 2 bags, and one pair of fingerless mittens all very plain. Most of the patterns are made in DK weight yarn.
