Synopsis
What would you like to have crocheted by tomorrow —a cardigan with a matching halter top? A cozy afghan? Perhaps a warm hat to ward off the wind? Then get out the needles and follow these patterns, because every one of them takes just a day to do. Even though a crocheter with average skill can handle them all, those with more experience will find plenty of details to intrigue them in these fashionable designs. The sexy, low-cut Glitter Glamour Top and Shawl make a lovely combination, and photos present a variety of stylish ways to wrap the shawl. Or crochet a cheery multicolored scarf, sweaters, purses, outfits for babies and children, and lots more. Includes a conversion chart for crocheters outside the U.S.
Library Journal
These pattern books of quick-to-crochet and quick-to-knit projects include a variety of patterns for garments, accessories, and afghans for children and adults. What sets these pattern collections apart is the number of color photographs of finished projects-often four or five of each garment-along with the designer's estimated time to complete each project. Most projects are made with readily available yarns and are suitable for beginning to intermediate crocheters and knitters. Consider for public libraries where demand warrants.
