Get
ahead with a hat! Here are twenty different ones to crochet
all in the versatile beanie style. I like the way the covers
fold out to reveal some helpful tips on how to do some of
the techniques such as reverse double crochet and spiral rounds,
as well as how to make a pompom and a list of the abbreviations.
This is not a book that teaches crochet but a book of patterns
– there is a useful recommendation at the beginning
of a book for beginners that does that. The author says the
patterns are suitable for beginners or intermediate, but I
think that you need to have made at least a few simple pieces
in order to feel confident. Some of the patterns have charts;
hey all have instructions, a list of materials, tension sample,
size and how to make up as well as a whole page photograph
of the hat being worn on the page opposite. Each style also
has a difficulty rating and at the back is a list of all the
yarns used. There are delicate lacy hats, sporty styles, hat
with peaks, pompoms or flowers, stripes and shell patterns
and more, all for adult women. In all, this is a book of attractive
beanies sure to appeal to a wide range of crochet fans.
