Crocheted Gifts is one of the greatest books I've ever browsed through. As the title states you can make these crochet patterns to give to a loved one, but you'll also want to make yourself everything in this book. A 120 page book full of stylish crocheted gifts you can give any time of year. You will see a robe, a rug, jewelry, hats, bags, dishcloths, shawls and so much more. Everything you have ever wanted to make is right here in this single book. Featured designs are including from all the fabs like Doris Chan, Kathy Merrick, Robyn Chachula, Annie Modesitt and more.

Each pattern comes with instructions, hook size, gauge, notions and a stitch guide. As you work your way through this book you'll realize not only do you want to give this project away, but you also want to make it for yourself. It's like my family motto "buy one, give one." It means buy one for yourself and give one to someone else; same goes for crocheting these fabulous patterns.

Be sure you check out page 18 with the Shawlette in chains; it is a beautiful crochet pattern. Laceweight yarn is used making it a dainty shawl to wear.
