The third handy-size, take-it-everywhere entry in the Portable Crafter series focuses on crochet, a form of needlework that just keeps getting more and more popular. With projects created by the design editor for The Crochet Guild of America, this collection offers something beautiful for stitchers of all levels. The styles range from traditional to contemporary, and the items all use rich, soft yarns. Many take advantage of the newest textured patterns, which give added appeal and dimension to every garment and accessory. Select from a cute Baby Cupcake Hat in spring colors, a super-simple yet elegant Beaded Purse, a ruffled Cherries Pillow, a Summer Shell that's embellished with a flower; plus afghans, flip-flops, booties, scarves, caps, bookmarks, and towels.
Carolyn Christmas comes up with the neatest patterns. This book is a little one but packed with lots of great patterns. I have to admit, the baby hat on the cover is my favorite pattern, but there are plenty of tempting patterns in this book. Great book, great designer - definitely worth getting
Has a wide variety

Although the physical size of Carolyn Christmas'(don't you just love her name?)book is small, the content is large, easy beginner items as well as something for the more experienced. What I especially liked was that there were T-shirt tops that even a novice could do, but the expert would be satisfied as well. A good addition to any crochet library.
