Book Reviews of Cool Crochet
Book Review: Cross the bikini off my list....
Summary: 4 Stars
Trust me, there's no chance that I'm going to crochet a bikini -- not now, not ever. That being said, there are many absolutely wonderful designs here that are a bit more up-to-date than many of the things found in some crochet books.
Another reviewer mentioned, quite correctly, that the tops here are too short for many women. I second that opinion, and that has to be taken into consideration in working the patterns and in shopping for yarn (unless you use no-dye-lot acrylics.)
Most of the designs here are winners. The color choices are a big plus and will be sure to open your imagination to new and better projects.
