Kristi
Simpson says that her very first design was a hat; thus they have a special
place in her heart. The designs she has created are evidence of the many
directions that can be explored with hats: “silly, sweet, functional and
fashionable!”

The models
wearing Kristi’s hats are “real people,” and they serve a dual purpose. Highlighting
the darling and varied selection of crocheted hats, they also prove the old
adage, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” to be true!

happy faces fill the book with smiles and giggles!

Also
included is a very informative section which Kristi calls, “How to Read My Patterns,”
which includes information on how to choose a pattern consistent with skill
levels, sizing, choosing the correct yarn and hook and gauge. These tips will
serve the crocheter well into the future on most any crochet project.
Both
visually exciting and inspiring, the Visual Index at the end of the book with
help you zero in on just which hat you will want to start with. I have a
feeling you’ll want to make more than one!
Simpson is the designer behind RAKJpatterns, and she is also the author of Sweet & Adorable Baby Crochet. She loves to blog about many things crochet.
