This review is from: Interweave Presents Crocheted Gifts: Irresistible Projects to Make & Give (Paperback)
Mittens for the family, very pretty open cardi stitch, small shawl in chains. pendant crocheted on plastic ring, hairpin lace bowl in wire, baby hat and booties, willow hat with grannies, washcloths, lace shrug, neckwarmer, socks, flower choker in thread, hexagonal motif bag in hemp, small balls for baby, squared hat, felted, beaded bag, floral coasters, wrap or scarf, drawstring bag, granny square kid's blanket on cover, thread bracelets, lace wristers, robe for new mommy, chain scarf, motif as a rug in bulky yarn. Most of the projects are quick to make and several are quite interesting such as the Willow hat, small shawl, pendant on ring, baby hat, lace shrug, wrap or acarf and cover blanket. But some of the others might be just what I want so this is a useful book to purchase. the patterns are written out and also some are charted and the photos are good too. Book likes flat although spiral binding could have helped.Also some well known new designers here. very nice item.

Something for Everyone,
By moonglow (Conover, NC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Interweave Presents Crocheted Gifts: Irresistible Projects to Make & Give (Paperback)
This crochet book is filled with projects that are as fun to make as they are to give. From wearables like socks and scarves to home decor items like the "All-Star Blanket" pictured on the cover, you'll find the perfect gift to make and give, and a few projects you'll want to make for yourself! No one is left out in this book...there are gifts for men (the "Hat Squared"), gifts for baby ("Play Time" balls and "Berry Baby Hat and Booties"), and fashionable gifts for women (the "Sorbet Scarf"). You won't be disappointed in this book-and neither will your gift recipients!
