For anyone binge-watching Prime Video’s Daisy Jones & the Six, the retro styles in this collection will be absolutely on point. Crochet designer Price (founder, Savannah’s Stitches) offers 15 patterns with vintage flair that are sure to delight modern-day hippies. The book opens with the author noting the importance of including customizable sizes and mentioning flattering fabrics. She says crochet styles serve as an antidote to the damaging idea of dieting down to be beach ready. The book’s projects are designed to be daily wear. That includes easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions to create floral overalls, miniskirts, bell bottoms, sweaters, dresses, and more.
VERDICT This book shows exactly how fun, fashionable, and flattering retro crochet garments can be. Its patterns are suitable for all crochet skill levels, making it the perfect addition to any library’s catalogue of crafting books.
