Prolific designer Leapman (Melissa Leapman's Indispensible Stitch Collection for Crocheters) brings her flair for contemporary crochet to small accessories in her latest collection. The focus is on cool-weather accessories, such as scarves, shawls, hats, and mitts, but there are also bags, jewelry, and a couple of openwork stoles. The projects feature a variety of yarn weights, from ultra-fine lace yarn used for two of the jewelry projects to bulky and roving-weight yarn used for a hat and a scarf. Each pattern includes both written and charted instructions, and the appendix features basic information about chart reading, crochet stitches, and finishing techniques.
VERDICT With its variety of styles and skill levels, this collection has widespread appeal for crocheters who enjoy fashionable accessories.
