100 Hats to Knit & Crochet by Jean Leinhauser, Rita Weiss (2006, Paperback)

I saw this at the library and HAD to have it. Majority are crocheted-but I am more of a crocheter. It is very well formatted and good for all levels of expertise.

The book has 2 failings: 1. There are hardly any projects for men (but I expected that,) and 2.) TOO MUCH CROCHET! ;) I can both knit and crochet, but I am a better knitter - however MOST of the crochet wasn't incredibly complicated and if you are at an "easy/intermediate" level you should be able to do most of the projects. I don't know why "knit" was before crochet in the title, but there are not a lot of knitting projects, comparitively.

Still, it was a very fun book, and I saw several hats which were really fun and there really was something for every season of the year. Definitely a good book to have on your shelf of pattern books, and I recommend it to any crochet-er or someone who is talented in both knitting and crochet. The person who just knits may be disappointed.

4 out of 5 stars.

I LOVE this book. It has wonderful directions for really cute hats. I have used the patterns repeatedly to make dozens of hats in order to donate them to children's hospital who treat children with cancer or other ailments which have caused them to lose their hair. Check out thegladhatters.org Our website will be working very soon! Thanks you!

It arrived promptly and in good order but the styles are outdated which was disappointing. I have to write one hundred characters and there's nothing more I want to say so am just filling up space.
