Continuing the tradition of the bestselling Knitting On the Go series, this new entry features innovative patterns that crocheters of all skill levels will want to snap up and take everywhere. Well-known designers (including Sasha Kagan and Candi Jensen) have contributed their beautiful work to the collection, and the styles range from a simple kerchief-shaped shawl suitable for a beginner to popular motifs such as granny squares and florals to a more advanced shawl with interlocking circles. There’s also a Broomstick Lace Shawl in sky-blue alpaca silk, a Deco-Ribbon Antimacassar Shawl in tulip, a Chunky Bobble-icious Wrap, and a colorful Mondrian-inspired Shawl. Every one would make a perfect project…and a perfect gift.

This review is from: Vogue Knitting on the Go! Crocheted Shawls (Hardcover)
21 crocheted shawls. mohair triangle, broomstick rectangle by Omdahl, circular spiral shawl by Omdahl, granny square that looks like a poncho to me, medallion shawl joined as you work them, elongated loop stitch shawl, rectangular 4 leaf clover shawl in 2 colors with Rowan 4-ply cotton by Kagan, ribbon shawl, star motif shawl joined at end of work, spiraled flower shawl with flower and leaf motifs and joined at end of work in Saucy sport cotton, rectangular lace shawl in Brilla, rectangular linked rings, hexagonal motif shawl (back cover) joined as you work it, triangle motif shawl (front cover) joined in the working in bamboo, mohair shawl in a loop knot pattern, triangular "box" shawl in Koigu yarn, shell stitch shawl by Doris chan inspired by a round doily, colorful triangular shawl of different sizes of mohair in circles, wrap shawl which can be tied at the ends, rectangular shawl based on Mondrian, aran shoulder length shawl with one large button. All the shawls look interesting and fun to make.
Skill level is mainly intermediate with 3 advanced and 2 very easy but nothing marked for beginners. Yarns used are on the higher end in the main. For crocheters who do shawls this is a must purchase book.Only one caveat: no hairpin lace in this book.

This review is from: Vogue Knitting on the Go! Crocheted Shawls (Hardcover)
I got this book as a gift and I'm thrilled with it. I actually like *all* of the patterns inside and I've got six of them waiting in my "to-do" drawer. The patterns are well-written and cover a wide range of skill levels, styles and tastes. Best of all, they're great for crocheters like me who are young and want to make/wear things that are age-appropriate.

cool,
This review is from: Vogue Knitting on the Go! Crocheted Shawls (Hardcover)
"Vogue" is known for, well being in "Vogue". This book has some lovely crocheted shawls you wont's be likely to find somewhere else. The "Vogue On the Go" crochet books can be a little spotty. In previous books, I have been disappointed to find some sections of the pattern do not seem to be there. But I'm happy to report that this is_not_ the case in "Crocheted Shawls". All the patterns are clear and concise. There is no grading of the pattern - beginner or intermediate, so that might be a problem for some folks. But it may allow others to stretch their crochet wings a bit, just to see what can be accomplished.
There is also no charts or symbols. This can also cause a problem for some crocheters. I do like to see charts mostly because they help me visualize how the shawl should be put together in case of multiple motifs. I do recommend this book for intermediate and curious crocheters. I believe they will find many patterns to choose from. The jacket cover shawl is beautiful, but the looped shawl is on my works in mind list. So give it a chance.
