Crochet clothing – nice crochet clothing! Things people can actually wear and be happy and not be embarrassed (not the typical crochet patterns that your grandmother would have thought were old-fashioned when she was a teenager). And lots of size variation.I actually bought a second copy of this book so I could mark one up and tear out pages and still have a clean copy.Included designs are listed below. I am also giving the finished bust sizes, as one designer’s “small” is another’s not so small. Also, by the size variations, you can get an idea if an item is tight or loose fitting. The yarns are given by weight (light = 3, medium =4, et al.,) plus yardage (how many yards/meters per ounces/grams); the individual yarns used in the pictured items are also given. That is helpful whether you want to use the exact yarn or substitute. Crochet hook sizes are given in millimeter and letter size (F, G, H, et al.). Diagrams are given for the clothing pieces but not there are no symbols for the crochet stitch patterns. The skill level (easy or intermediate) is also given for each piece.1. Carefree Cardigan, seven sizes (XS to 3X, 34.5” to 59”), medium weight yarn, 5mm and 5.5mm hooks. An openwork cardigan with a wide round neckline with one big button. Cute for autumn.2. Buttons & Shells Jacket, three sizes (S to L, 35” to 51.5”), light weight yarn, 5mm and 5.5mm hooks. The body of the sweater is sideways shells, with four large button closure and an open neck with a collar that folds down. This is a nice look, but I’m not sure how practical that open neck is.3. Puff-Sleeved Cardigan, six sizes (XS to 2X, 46” to 68.5”), medium weight yarn, 5mm hook. This is the cover sweater. I’m not crazy about the puff sleeves or the sleeve length, but it seems it would be very easy to adapt when I make this one.4. Double-Up Jacket, six sizes (S to 3X, 36.5” to 58”), medium weight yarn, 5mm hook. Round neck jacket, a modified double-breasted, meaning it has two sets of buttons just at the top and the rest hangs open.5. All-Buttoned-Up Vest, six sizes (XS to 2X, 32” to 52”), light weight yarn, 4mm and 5mm hooks. This is an asymmetrical vest that is meant to be worn buttoned. Much cuter than a regular vest.6. Classical Jacket, seven sizes (XS to 3X, 30” to 55.5”), medium weight yarn, 5mm and 5.5mm hooks. Very cute jacket. It is double-breasted, with a collar, and a peplum. I’m not crazy about the double-breasted look, but the rest is really nice, very soft looking. The sleeves also have a flair at the end, which the designer also calls a peplum. It should be fairly easy to adapt to single-breasted if you are so inclined.7. Blue Heaven Sweater, six sizes (XS to 2X, 31” to 51”), medium weight yarn, 5.5mm hook. Very cute little sweater with a single button forming a V-neck when fastened. It is shown as a short, fitted sweater with three-quarter length sleeves, but it should be super simple to vary any of those elements.8. Something Special Cardigan, seven sizes (XS to 3X, 30” to 54.5”), light weight yarn, 5mm hook. Cute basic cardigan in the upper portion, mostly rows of single crochet, a deep V-neck when fastened by the single button. But then the bottom portion is a post-stitch design, a pretty pattern, and flaring a bit. Nice design.9. Openwork Jacket, seven sizes (XS to 3X, 32.5 to 56”), bulky weight yarn, 9mm hook. An openwork coat (below knee length as shown) with three buttons, round neckline. Essentially, a very big cardigan style. You really need a nice yarn to pull off this look.10. Best Boucle’ Cardigan, three sizes, (XS/S, M/L, XL/2X) 33.5” to 51”), medium weight yarn, 6mm hook. A simple cardigan, round neck, one button at neckline, with the main interest being in the choice of yarn.11. Belted Pant Coat, seven sizes (XS to 3X, 33” to 57”), medium weight yarn, 6mm hook. Double-breasted jacket with lapels and belt loops.12. Weekend Warmer Sweater, seven sizes (XS to 3x, 31” to 61”), medium weight yarn, 4mm and 5.5mm hook. Round-neck cardigan with narrow double-button closure (sort of a modified double-breasted look) with five sets of buttons (ten total). There is a ribbed edging around the neck, hem and center closure; the body is shells and post-stitches.13. Nice Striped Vest, seven sizes (XS to 3X, 30” to 54”), light weight yarn, 4mm hook. A conventional button vest, with nice stitch definition in the stripes. Five buttons.14. Elegant Swing Coat, seven sizes (XS to 3X, 32.5” to 55.5”), medium weight yarn, 5mm hook. Gorgeous swing coat, with a fold-back neckline and flared sleeves. I am in the process of making this coat, although I am using two strands of somewhat fuzzy lace-weight mink yarn.15. Sweater with Flair, six sizes (XS to 2X, 30.5” to 53”), light weight yarn, 5mm hook. Round neck cardigan, with a shell pattern, seems to be semi-fitted in the body but then flaring at the bottom and also in the sleeves.All in all, one of the nicest crochet pattern books available, with actual pretty designs that anyone can wear, especially with the wide choice in sizes. Most are suitable for fall and winter, a few are fine for cool summer nights or spring days.I would love Lisa Gentry to do a similar book with more delicate designs, using lace, super fine and fine weight yarns and smaller hooks. It is so hard to find any nice designs in finer work.
