Great little book

I originally checked this book out at the library and loved it so much I bought it!! Super easy to read and learn to crochet with. Pictures are excellent for detailing each kind of stitch. Book lays open to keep your hands free. Lots of scarves to choose from to crochet. Great if you want to teach yourself!

The easiest to understand for stitch instructions.

This book is the best I've ever seen on easy to understand directions and pictures. I recommend it highly to anyone who wants to learn to crochet.

Awesome!

When I saw this book at Jo-Ann's I had to have it, I used my 50% off coupon and bought it right away. This book has 16 different patterns for scarves, and I can honestly say that I will probably make them all. They are very original patterns. I like that this book incorporates lots of novelty yarns. There is also a pattern that uses the bloom loom, and one that uses the hairpin lace technique...very original. I also like that this book uses a lot of different price points for yarns....there are patterns that use less expensive yarns like the lion brand yarns, and there are patterns that use the pricier yarns like the Classic Elite brands. I also like that with each pattern they will show you alternate color ways, or alternate types of yarns that would work as well. It has really inspired me to try a lot of the neat novelty yarns that are out. I have already made one scarf (and I just bought the book last night), and have the yarns purchased to make 4 more of the scarves. Great Book!

Great!

The scarves in this book are so cool! I can't wait to make them for all my friends.

16 great projects, lots of fun designs and techniques!

Oh, this book is just pure fun! If you doubt me, turn to page 63 where you'll find the fabulous "Flapper Flashback" scarf, a roaring '20s-inspired crocheted dazzler made from worsted-weight ribbon and novelty yarns. Or try the "Classic Hairpin Lace" scarf of peach-colored worsted-weight ribbon yarn, or the "Easy Argyle" with preppy diamond motifs. Altogether you'll find 16 patterns for hip crocheted scarves in colors and styles to suit every taste. Even traditional granny squares are updated with a fresh look, and you can make some wonderfully asymmetrical flower motifs with crocheted circles. I love the "Throat Warmer," "Bits and Pieces" and "Ripple Effect" multicolored scarf. The instructions are easy to follow and the author provides lots of fun variations on each pattern, too.
