Cap off your wardrobe with a hat for every occasion—it’s one of the smallest, most creative projects to knit. Stay warm with a Nordic stocking cap or cool in summer straw. Have a fling with a Scottish tam. Or try a chenille helmet, a stylish cloche, a pansy beret, or a mosaic fez. Twenty-two in all.

The idea of this series of little books is great -- small books with patterns for small things. Pop them in your purse, and you can knit in waiting rooms and traffic jams. And of course, being a Vogue book, this one contains accurate, clear instructions with good photographs.
But the patterns themselves are a disappointment. A jester's hat, a sort of crusader helmet, a Peruvian cap without the style of a real Peruvian cap -- these are some examples of the extreme. Those that are not extreme are old-fashioned: a long-tailed ski cap, a fisherman's hat so badly designed that even in the (doubtless beutifully knitted) example, the increases and decreases are obtrusive and ugly, a very ordinary watch cap.
I'll probably carry this with me in the fall to make watch caps and berets for holiday gifts, but I wouldn't have bought it if I had seen inside it first.

I am kind of shocked at how many ugly hats the editors of Vogue could cram into this little book. I expect there to be a few --it is, afterall, a matter of taste--but I just couldn't believe page, after page, of hideousness. There are 2 or 3 okay looking hats in this book and the rest look like something you'd wear to a shriner's convention, or cover your teapot with. It is such ashame, as these little books are such a good idea. The Vogue knitting Mittens & gloves book is much better, if you can get passed the gloves on the cover. What were they thinking?
