When learning how to read a pattern the crochet instructions are provided with special terms, symbols and punctuation making all the hats in this book simple to follow. Some of the hats can be embroidered, some can be made with a hairpin lace loom and some can even be worn multiple ways. Get stylish this winter season with some new crocheted hats; you need a new wardrobe every season.

When flipping through the pages of Cool Crocheted Hats, my jaw dropped when I saw the Hooded Cowl on page 70. The color combination works well together and definitely fits my color palette, but what really stunned me were the two different yarns worked together. The cowl itself is made with worsted weight wool while the trim is made with worsted weight mohair; it adds the perfect finishing touch. What's great about this crochet design is that you can wear it as a scarf around your neck or wear it over your head as what it's intended for - a cowl.

If you're ready to switch up your style this season then you'll just love to get your hands on this book.
