This review is from: Fun & Funky Crochet: 30 Exciting Projects for a Stylish New Look (Paperback)

Doesn't list yarn sizes but has good basic instructions with excellent pics. Written towards the teen set. A few great patterns, if you aren't plus size. Patterns: beret, cloche and russian hats; mittens, 4 scarves, 5 bags, a purse on a belt, 2 more belts, 3 chokers and a wrist cuff, weird fingerless gloves that aren't really fingerless gloves, leg warmers, a cute mini skirt, a shawl, a poncho, a halter and a bikini. This book is worth it for the beaded evening bag, mini skirt and bikini! :)

This review is from: Fun & Funky Crochet: 30 Exciting Projects for a Stylish New Look (Paperback)

any major creative/trendy items..... I thought this would have more cool accesories for the fashion conscious crocheter.... a couple were cute, but weren't anything special and most were ones I didn't need a pattern to complete. Overall this book is average.... like most crochet books. Still dreaming of crochet books that are more contemporary.
