“Easy Crocheted Hats and Scarves - 15 Pretty Projects” is a crochet pattern book that has eleven attractive scarves and four coordinating hat patterns, for a total of fifteen designs. That’s not a bad deal as the paperback version retails for around $12.99. That’s less that a dollar a pattern. Add a touch of color and texture to your fall and winter wardrobe with these crocheted accessories that are fun to wear or make awesome gifts. You'll love the portability of the projects so you can work on them while you’re on the go.

The paperback version has 32 pages of easy to follow instructions and each project has a color photo of the finished item. The only problem I saw with this book is that the patterns are not necessarily all easy patterns. The Yarn Council’s yarn standards define an easy level as “projects using basic stitches, repetitive stitch patterns, simple color changes, and simple shaping and finishing.” Some of the stitches in this book’s patterns are a little bit beyond basic.
