MAD HATTER (PB)

In her first book, Instagram sensation Aynsley Grealis shares her designs and patterns to teach readers how to make three simple bases (a balaclava, a pull-on hat, and a handbag) and then how to decorate each by incorporating layers of whimsical appliques. The patterns look complicated, but crochet with ease?the secret is in the embellishments: Patterns for crocheted flowers, bees, stars, clouds, an entire coral reef of fish and sea creatures, and much more are included, enabling readers to hook wonderful hats and bags with lots of flair (or just a little!).
