Crocheted hats are in style on everyone from sophisticated urbanites to women of a certain age. They are seen on hip skateboarders and happy babies. No wonder the hat is such a popular crochet project.
Hooked Hats presents 15 easy crochet designs bursting with color, textures, and fashion style. The projects feature a variety of yarns from bright cottons to novelty yarns and offer extras like linings, edgings, and embellishments. For the many beginners, an illustrated basics section teaches the stitches. There are rare alternative instructions for lefties and a handy ruler.
