I am an advanced crocheter and have quite a bit of experience with many techniques; but this book has patterns that are brand-new to me. The patterns use a variety of techniques; including tunisian; to create beautiful scarves. Patterns also use a variety of yarns; including sport; fingering; and lace; but the patterns are easily transferrable to other weights as well. Some scarves are lacy; some are solid; some are great for cold weather; and some are perfect with that little dress for an evening out. I have a hard time imagining a crocheter who would be disappointed with these patterns. Each pattern has detailed step-by-step color pictures and stitch diagrams; in addition to written instructions. I would highly recommend this book to any crocheter; from beginner to expert. Great book!!9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. lots of choicesBy M. PollerThis is a very user friendly book as there are good photos throughout which show the actual crochet steps of the 21 scarves. My favorite of them is Marabou using woven yarn. I have seen this done in knitting but not in crochet so I definitely want to make it. Scarf is top one on back cover. The cover scarf in Tunisian is also on my list. I also want to do the broomstick lace scarf. There are lots of different crochet techniques and each is thoroughly explained. All the patterns are written out a nd charted. Each scarf is introduced with some information about the yarn used. Each pattern is rated for difficulty and gives the weight of the yarn. Most of the scarves can be done in one or two balls unless there are some in colors. Quite a few of the scarves use lace weight or other thin yarn but also there are some in worsted wt or even bulky. The author says right at the beginning that the book is not for absolute beginners even though the basic stitches are also photographed and explained. Also very good for more experienced crocheters as several patterns are for them. Compared to other crochet scarf books this would rank very high f or me. I own the Vogue crochet books which are excellent and Hubert on scarves also very good. But with crochet scarf books one is really not enough.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Not any plain old scarfBy C. SilvaI was very pleased with this book. I think of my crochet skill as being pretty well practiced and Ive read a lot of patterns and crochet diagrams. The patterns you find in this book along with the diagrams provided for all the different scarves makes this book great. There are plenty of pictures to walk you through the patterns. The reason I give this a 4 star and not a five is because some of the wording in the patterns were confusing. I had to refer to the diagram of the pattern on a few of the scarves. For me being familiar it was no problem however I feel that a person who is not well practiced but sees this as a book on scarves patterns would assume the patterns to be written easier to understand. Over all I do recommend this book but not to persons new to crochet. I just think the wording can be a bit confusing for a newbie.
