Designed by Katherine Lee of SweaterBabe.com, the patterns in this book can keep you busy making today's crocheted fashions and accessory looks.

A few examples are the crocheted skirt in a textured pattern stitch with a ripple border, a crocheted belt (shown on the cover) that Katherine Lee designed to echo the look of macrame, resulting in a fabulous lacy look that's trendy to wear with denim, a spaghetti-strap top, plus gorgeous shawls, sweaters, hats and purses.

Special Features of This Book

Open the cover to reveal a spiral-bound book for easy-to-turn pages that will stay open to the pattern page you're working on.

I like the way that Katherine created a display of small photos at the beginning of each section, so all the patterns in that section can be previewed at a glance.

Projects are rated by level of difficulty so you can choose patterns for your own skill level.

If you enjoy working from symbol charted patterns, you have that choice in this book, as the pattern stitch is shown in symbols chart form for each pattern as well as in written crochet directions. International Crochet Symbols are explained at the beginning of the book for anyone who is new to that pattern form and would like to try it. It's great that she has given the opportunity of crocheting her designs from symbols crochet along with the written directions.

The back of the book has a page showing a close-up look of a strand of each yarn in actual size. That's a big plus if you find that you want to substitute another yarn.

Katherine's clothing designs are current fashion looks to enjoy crocheting and wearing.
