Quick Styles For You is a collection of 11 elegant and fast to work up crochet patterns. It features on trend cowls, ponchos, shawls and more. The book contains beautiful full color photography and is perfect if you are looking for a quick and stylish accessory to wear.

Using Lion Brand's Homespun and Homespun Thick and Quick, each project features variegated colors and soft painterly hues that showcase and highlight the stitches of each project. All of the patterns indicate which colors were used to achieve the same look as the photo too. Equally helpful to the crocheter is the skill level clearly indicated in the instructions, so there is something that everyone can crochet in this book. There is a section in the back for terminology, yarn weight, and gauge which is great if you are learning to crochet or need to refer to as you work on a project.

You'll love the two-tone triangle shawl on page 6 that is versatile for causal or dress and the trendy hooded cowl found on page 43. There is also a variety of unique stitches and interesting details like pretty edgings, lace, and bobbles throughout the book. This book is full of style and you'll be sure to find your favorite too!
