The founder and editor of an online crochet magazine offers 15 patterns that will appeal to those new to crochet. Most of the projects are simple belts, scarves, pillows, and tiny bags. The crocheted washcloth probably won't attract many crafters, but the final project--a black beret with a red heart design--is appealing, even though it is more difficult than the others. Crotchet basics are shown primarily in helpful color photographs rather than illustrations, and the book touches on subjects that such books sometimes miss: yarn weight, edging, and custom fitting. The pop-art graphics are very cool; readers will know right away that this is not their grandmother's crochet book. A list of books and Web sites is appended. Ilene Cooper

Book Description
* Get hooked. In a good way
* Author is a leader in hip crocheting!
Hey, hipster. Forget glumpy afghans. Get hooked on Friendship Wrist Cuffs, a Sushi Roll Pillow, Fingerless Gloves (punk version), Fingerless Gloves (prom version), or a Pleated Miniskirt. These ain’t your granny’s crocheting. Specifically designed for tweens and teens, the trendy, simple projects in Get Hooked will entice even the most too-cool-for-school young person. Clear, starting-from-scratch directions begin with how to hold the hook and where to put the yarn, then move with lightning speed to the good stuff--actually making crocheted items to wear and to share. Extra sections show teens how to make their own hook holders, how to select movies to crochet by, organize crocheting groups, even crochet for charity. Add the low, low cover price, and stand back as hordes of teens rush to Get Hooked
Kim Werker is a web designer, writer, crocheter, and the founder and publisher of Crochet Me, a bimonthly online magazine that is a hipster-crochet leader. Her first book was Teach Yourself Visually Crocheting. She lives in Vancouver, British Columbia.
