I will be honest and tell you up front that I did not read the "how-to" portion of the book. I've been crocheting for about 60 years. I wanted to use the book for the patterns only. The patterns may have been great but, the correlation of the pictures with the patterns was awful. If I were a newbie, I'd be tossing this book in the trash!
Patterns not included of more interesting hats, just pictures. Disappointing and not worth the price unless new crocheter; I wish I knew that before i bought the book.
This book only describes the types of hats that you could crochet, no actual patterns for the hats! Nuts! Crazy I tell ya! Loco! So silly! If it's a "crochet hat patterns" then where are the patterns? This is a waste of time. Do not buy this book!!
False advertising, this book is not qbookofhatpatterns, it has 2 simple basic pattern instructions for a beanue pattern and then tells you what else to try. There is nothing about a cap or head cover. Most definitely not for anyone who an already crochet.
