Warning: This book is addictive! Highly Recommended

Warning! This book can be addictive! After whipping out three easy and beautiful scarves from this book, I had to hide it so I wouldn't be tempted to buy new yarn. The instructions are clear and easy even for beginners. The author includes a variety of projects from fun and trendy to classic and conservative. Each of the projects are easy to substitute yarn for. I actually had to substitute yarn for all three of my scarves and they all came out great! Now I have my eye on two other scarves from the book I want to do but I don't need any more scarves!

Great Book!

I am just a beginner in crocheting, just 2 months started in fact! I found this book in the local library, and fell in love with it. Let me list the reasons: 1)Easy to understand directions. 2)Clear color photographs 3)Close-ups of how to do each particular crochet stitch 4)A comprehensive side-panel on what materials needed, what stitches are needed, how much of each material, etc. 5)All the patterns are beautiful. Some colors of yarn chosen in the patterns in the book aren't too pleasing, but the patterns themselves are worth each penny for the cost of the book. For example, the scarf on the cover! The color of yarn is hideous in my opinion, but I tried out the pattern anyway with a solid color yarn (from Cron). The scarf looked amazing. Hard to describe, so readers have to try it out for themselves. (This is a classic example on how not to judge a book by its cover)! Oh...I forgot one thing: 6.)The book has a spiral binding on the inside, so when you have the book open the pages stay open. No need for paperweights or awkward holding of the book while you're trying to stitch. These are the reasons why I gave this book a 5-star rating. Beginners and experts alike will enjoy this crochet book. I highly recommend it. P.S. Even the person who taught me how to crochet fell in love with the book, and she ordered her own copy!

Oh, joy and rapture!!

Ladies (AND Gentlemen) -- Get your hooks ready! If you are a beginner or an advanced crocheter, get ready to make yourself, your family or your friends the coolest collection of scarves you've ever seen. Who would ever think that the usual beginner's project could be made so awe-inspiringly gorgeous with such inventive and fun techniques! There are 20 original designs that will keep you working and thoroughly entertained with diverse stitches and styles that will make your scarves the focal point of your ensemble. The very clear directions include working with new novelty yarns with interesting textures. There are scarves to create just for warmth, just for fashion -- including a lovely evening wrap. A big plus is the awesome photographs that show the projects as completed, along with good close-ups of the stitches. It's all very step-by-step, so that you can feel very confident about starting and finishing. The book is also spiral bound, which is a tremendous help when actually working on your project so that the directions are easily accessible. I couldn't recommend this book more highly! Fantastic!

Beautiful scarf patterns and yarn!

The back of the book says it all - Hot styles, Cool Stitches and Hot Yarns . The scarves in this book and the yarns they use are beautiful! The pictures offer close up details and the book is in spiral binding which is nice. I normally make scarves as gifts but I think the ones in this book will be for ME!!! HE HE! :)
