From the catwalks of Europe to the trendiest catalogs and boutiques, crochet is making a very fashionable resurgence. But even with all that popularity, there’s no need to pay designer prices for chic crocheted clothes. These stylish, contemporary patterns come from a variety of designers. Most use familiar and easy-to-learn stitches, so you can easily make them yourself with the help of the well-illustrated basics section. All the classic garments--including a cloche, coppery mesh overskirt, Chanel-inspired jacket, and itsy-bitsy bikini--are created with both traditional and specialty yarns, and they feature a range of fashionable embellishments like textured bobble stitches, corkscrew fringe, and delicate edgings.

Two downsides: The patterns are not given in diagram form, and the felted project did not point out that the wollen yarn has to be WOOL, and can't have been treated for maschine washing.
Not something I would have bought, but I'm glad to have access to it, as there are a few quite useful ideas.
