There's no better way to prepare for the winter season than by working up some crochet hats and scarves. Simply stated, these are necessities if you live in a cold-climate area. Hats & Scarves for the Family is a 47-page book from Leisure Arts that provides cozy sets for kids, teens and even adults.

Each of the crochet patterns in this book are classic designs crocheted in a medium weight yarn. Each pattern comes with a "shopping list", which is your materials list, a skill level, measurements and a figure to follow as needed. Designs include the classic look of houndstooth, fun colors to show your team spirit, a rainbow ripple set for kids (who's child wouldn't love this?), and three other fabulous crochet scarf and hat sets.

A favorite look is the lattice set found on page 27. It's an intermediate crochet pattern, but can easily be worked up in no time. Crochet instructions are provided for both children and adults, so you can make a matching set! The ribbing of the hat is worked up differently than the body of the hat to give it a unique look.

All the hats and scarves within Hats & Scarves for the Family are must-haves in your winter wardrobe. The yarn choices will keep you nice and warm and the patterns themselves will be stylish to wear out. Keep in mind these make great gifts for holidays, too! Get your hands on this book and have at it.
