Reviews

[Nancy]

I’m on a scarf kick right now, and on the hunt for patterns that are stylish and simple enough to crochet in front of the TV.

I’ve given a few away as gifts, and even made two for my husband. He has never shown interest in anything I crocheted, especially when I was making these:



It was only when he saw me making a scarf for my brother, an intricate pattern of bobbles and cables that resembles an Aran sweater, that he decided he wanted one for himself.



I found this little book at the library and love its compact size. It fits neatly into purse or backpack, so it is the perfect guide to travel with.

It begins with crochet basics and a very helpful guide to yarn categories and weights, just in case you don’t want to buy fancy and expensive silk, wool, or mohair yarns that can’t be thrown in the washing machine.

There are lots of interesting patterns here. I’m not into pom-poms, beads, flowers or boas, but there are clusters, basketweaves, stripes, cables and squares that suit my style much more.

I haven’t actually made anything out of the book yet, so won’t rate at this time.

I have made several scarves from patterns in this book, and they are all wonderful. This is probably my favorite in the series.
