This is quite a lovely collection on knit hats that can be easily produced by most knitters. There are a few that would require more experienced knitters—those that can tackle cables, intarsia and charts. I consider myself an accomplished knitter, but even for me charts are a new challenge. That's one of the reasons I like this book. I used my age old requirement for purchasing a craft book I could easily find at least three or four projects I would immediately like to knit and several others that look promising.
What I really like about this collection is the varied weights of yarns used to produce some really beautiful hats. I often purchase yarns without any real project in mind—sigh—don't we all. So with MARGEAU CHAPEAU I will now be able to hit my stash.
With the inclusion of intarsia hats MARGEAU CHAPEAU will also enable knitters to use up some of those odd skeins.
All knitters and crafters look for books that offer variety of styles, yarn weights and embellishments. Matching hats with yarns and gauges is always difficult since we want to make sure sizing is just right. This book lets you size many different styles of hats using lots of yarn types and weights.
Margeau Soboti has a great reputation as a designer and with MARGEAU CHAPEAU she harnessed some of her best hats designed in one book. Each pattern is accompanied with several photos of the finished product. The hats are all very current designs. And the step-by-step instructions are clear and concise. Everything you need to complete some lovely new additions to your hat wardrobe or as a gift.
