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.

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!

What a great book for gift ideas for your family and friends! There are easy and quick designs as well as more challenging patterns too.

I have already made 2 of the projects. Picturials and script are great, easily understood.

This is a wonderfully laid out Interweave book (as usual). It is a good book for people that do general crochet but I am looking for more avant garde crochet, not like grandma used to make! A good starter's book.

This book has some really lovely crocheted pieces. As a knitter I am not normally that fond of crocheted fabric, but many of the pieces in this book appeal to me. I especially like the Willow hat, Sorbet scarf, and the Trinity shrug. Everything looks easy enough for a beginning to intermediate crocheter. I've read through some of the instructions and they seem very clear. I can't wait to start the Willow hat.

Save your money on this one. I did not find any projects that would be worthwhile to make, let alone give. There was one kitschy baby hat and booties that were cute, but for the price of this ebook I don't think it's worth it. You can probably find all of these patterns for free online. Definitely nothing new and different here, and I certainly wouldn't give any of these as gifts.

minus the really weird sweater and wrap, i liked it.
there is a very cute hat/bootie set that looks like a little plum with leaves attached.

i liked the pictures and the directions don't seem too complicated

There are alot of great designs and simple patterns in this book. One for any person who loves crochet.
