After looking through it for a couple of days now and taking note of the yarns; construction and embellishments; I have to say that Im disappointed. I have several grandchildren that are the targets for receiving these hats and I was hoping for some really cute and quick patterns. What I have is a book that reminds me a lot of the small (albeit expensive) knitting brochures you get a the yarn store with a few patterns in them and suggestions for altering the basic pattern to create a different look.The hats are all based on the same construction. Theyre knit flat and sewn up the back. The top decreases are all basically the same for every pattern. In essence; once youve knit one; you can literally knit any of these (with the exception of the dragon; which has a ribbed neck warmer and a different construction).The embellishments are extremely basic and theyre OK; but just not as exciting or adorable as I thought they would be--round; empty looking eyes; and stiff; stilted stripes and markings. The placement of ears and noses doesnt inspire; endear; or generate the "awww[...]" factor that other childrens hats Ive seen have. The ear flaps appear to be narrow and quite a few are shown curling up; which defeats the purpose of having them. Maybe my expectations were too high; but the idea of an entire book dedicated to animal hats seemed like a great thing for knitting grandmas and moms.So the onus is on me to adapt; beginning with knitting in the round for speed and a more professional finished look; adapting the ear flaps; changing the animal faces (which is always where I struggle; even with toy knitting) and using this book as an idea starter rather than a plug and play time saver. And so; I am disappointed; which is not to say that this book isnt a good one for someone out there.The photography is very nice; and the fox pattern is quite nice looking. The author uses easily substitutable yarns in standard weights and the gauge is done over stockinette stitch; which is a great benefit. There are a few matching accessories included--booties; wrist warmers; and such--that may add value for some. For me; they seemed less than inspired; but I havent written a book; so its easy enough to stand in judgement of that.To be fair; if youre a beginner and youre not comfortable with knitting in the round; this may be just the book for you. If youre gifted with personalizing and embellishing; you could really take the basic ideas and run with them. Sadly for myself; the "wow" factor just isnt there and Ill probably never knit even one pattern exactly as written. This is one that Ill give to a young child as they learn to knit or a brand new mom who is just learning.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
