Crochet designer Rowe’s book encompasses projects that range from standard beanies to adorable animal-themed hats. The book includes clear-cut depictions of basic techniques and patterns, and the author offers options that are sure to give recipients a special keepsake. There are some fun stitches too that add texture to otherwise straightforward designs. Her ideas for color make basic hats brilliant, and some of her ingenious designs require little knitting knowledge yet produce distinctive items, such as a mouse hat with pompom ears. Other projects utilize tassels or playful brims for a delightful touch. She also presents fresh takes on Cabbage Patch Kids with produce-themed hats that include a design of an apple, pumpkin, and more.
VERDICT From the practical to the whimsical, these cute items are perfect for gifts and for new and weekend knitters. Also great for readers looking for a fresh way to keep their baby’s head warm this winter.
