The simple techniques shown in this guide together with the flirty, sassy designs will have even beginners crocheting in no time. Projects are divided into two collections, with “Out and About” featuring casual daytime fashions to layer over T-shirts or wear with jeans, a look that migrates from a downtown coffeehouse to the beach with ease. From the webbed halter dress and hooded poncho to the remix T-shirt with crocheted sleeves, all these pieces radiate an irresistible bohemian charm. The evening collection, “Paint the Town,” emphasizes unusual detailing, open-weave crochet, and playful colors in designs for a feather choker and matching cocktail bag, a gothic shawl, a glamorous full-length peek-a-boo dress, a slinky tailored shrug, and a corset with satin ribbon ties.

I wasn’t a fan of most of the one sleeve/sleeved/shrug variations that were in the book. The top/legwarmer combo was absolutely dreadful to me. This is just my own personal preference of course. There were far more positives than negatives to me overall. I can’t wait to officially “bust my stash” to get started on many of them. I…
