Book Reviews of Crochet Chic: Haute Crochet Scarves, Hats & Bags

Book Review: Very little chic or haute about this book
Summary: 1 Stars

If you really like the hat on the cover, and do not feel you have yet seen enough hats with earflaps or dangling strips, then you may like this book. In my opinion, there are already plenty of books on the market with similar items. I will say that a refreshing aspect of the book is that about half of the models are African-American, which is somewhat unusual for a needlecraft book.

The only design I liked is the cowl-scarf. The rest of the designs are made of very simple shapes for which a moderately experienced crocheter really would not need a pattern.

Summary of Crochet Chic: Haute Crochet Scarves, Hats & Bags

Crocheting accessories can be a quick, simple, and rewarding way to enhance a wardrobe?and build needleworking skills. Thanks to Francine Toukou, these sophisticated patterns have a distinctively urban edge, sassy design aesthetic, and imaginative use of color. Stitchers of every level will want to grab their hooks and dive into such fashionable projects as a lovely pink mohair neck wrap with frilly, feminine edges; a snuggly brown scarf, worked in chunky wool and featuring flower attachments along its length; and a fabulous elongated clutch with a snap closure and decorative medallion. In addition to the basic stitches, Toukou offers invaluable advice on working with budget yarns and mastering special skills, including tassel-making, felting, and appliqué.
