Book Description
A new wave of savvy yarn crafters is getting hooked on crocheting. No wonder: the craft is not only fun, it's easy to learn. The 25 contemporary projects in Cozy Crochet range from Square Dishcloth and Round Coaster (for beginners) to Clutch Bag and Scoopneck Pullover (for the looping pro), each one allowing for design-it-yourself modifications. Thirty colour photographs and 65 illustrations accompany the projects and are designed to aid crafters of all skill levels. An extensive learn-to-crochet section is included for those who have never held a hook.

made a crocheter out of a veteran knitter!, Jan 28 2005

This review is from: Cozy Crochet: Learn to Make 25 Fun Projects, From Fashion to Home Decor (Paperback)
i have been trying to grasp the concept of crochet for decades... my mother is a crocheter, my aunt is a crocheter, but for years i have tried and failed MISERABLY. on my last vacation, i picked up this book and was able to do the first 4 projects without problem.maybe not for beginners as the other review states, but definitely worth a try for more seasoned crocheters or knitters that would like to learn.

Many household items....., Jan 30 2005
By Dianne Foster "Di" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cozy Crochet: Learn to Make 25 Fun Projects, From Fashion to Home Decor (Paperback)
I've made scarves, afghans, table mats, lace and doilies, as well as many other small crocheted items. I like COZY CROCHET because it includes some smaller items one can use as gifts, such as lace edging for pants and flowers for applique as well as the so-called `hippie' belt. I made the latter for my 16-year old granddaughter and she thought it was "cool". The flowers can be sewn on denim jackets and hats or the seat of your jeans. CC also includes lacy shawls and stoles, pillow covers, and a crochted skirt. I am not too fond of crocheted items that hang-like skirts and purses-as they tend to grow longer and longer over time (stretch and sag), so I would advise not making them.The book also includes household items such as a fruit bowl made from fabric strips, a crocheted rug and dish rags. In every case one must ask, when this item becomes dirty, how will I get it clean--but the authors don't provide any info on that aspect. I think all these things could be thrown in the washer, though it would depend on what you use as your basic fiber. Also, a good wash might make it unravel. Too often these books tell you how to make something but don't tell you how to care for it after you make it-this book does not explain how you would keep a item from stretching or unraveling in the washer--a painful experience after you spent hours making it.

A Beginner Book, Jan 6 2007
By matilda - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cozy Crochet: Learn to Make 25 Fun Projects, From Fashion to Home Decor (Paperback)
I got this book for my little sister, who is learning how to crochet. The projects were a little too simple for me (I've been crocheting for 18 years), but I really liked it and wanted to give it to someone who could learn crochet from it (I would like to have had a book like that when I was learning). A lot of the projects are things I would like to make or have someone make for me.
