A striped Kureyon Scarf is simply colorful, and perfect for practicing making even stitches. The sweet pastel baby blanket features nice big granny squares and dainty picot edging. Other attractive items include a cozy cap and poncho. Crochet fans will take this book everywhere.

It features more than twenty designs in a range of styles to suit every skill level, purpose, and occasion, including a bold granny square blanket worked in bright pinks, oranges and purples, and a more traditional pastel pink-and-white design with soothing stripes and embellished flowers. A playful rubber ducky checkerboard is certain to become baby’s most beloved blankie, while families will surely pass the gorgeous cashmere heirloom coverlet from generation to generation.

The 25 designs included here range from classic and elegant to fun and funky, with projects suitable for complete novices as well as veterans who are truly “hooked” on crochet. Basic how-tos are included for beginners, who might choose to start with a simple mesh pattern stole or the whimsical confetti-and-feather-look Eyelash Scarf. Experienced crocheters will love the colorful Paisley Wrap or the summer-weight Spoke-Motif Shawl. So steal a few minutes from your busy life and enjoy the pleasures of crocheting wherever you go.
