Small collection of quick projects - includes patterns for hats, scarves, hand warmers, bags and decorative items. I like the index in the back that has photos of the pattern, so you can quickly find the project you need.

I love to crochet and this book had a few projects that sparked my interest. Not all of them were as modern as I’d hoped and were a bit redundant from what’s already on the market. It has easy to follow directions and a few cute ideas, so I’m grateful to have gotten this book from NetGalley.

All crafters revel in finding quick projects and this book is full of them! All 42 of these crochet projects can be completed in less than a day.

The book is well laid out and visually pleasing. Divided into six project sections (Hats & Headbands - 8 projects; Wraps and Other Wearables -12 projects; Bags & Totes -6 projects; Kitchen and Dining - 9 projects; Living -7 projects) and two reference sections (Standard Abbreviations and Yarn and Materials), there is bound to be something that catches your interest. Photos for each of the projects with clear, easy to follow instructions (including size variations where appropriate) make this a winner. It has a photo index of the projects as well, which I think is brilliant and wish all craft books had!

Many thanks to NetGalley and Stackpole Books for allowing me to read an e-ARC of this book in exchange for an unbiased review.

I love craft books with quick projects! Crafters often want to make things for ourselves or others, but we don't always have a ton of time. Sometimes we just need a last minute gift. Here are 42 projects that can be completed in a day and there's a little bit of everything! There are the expected hats and headbands, but also wraps, mitts and other wearable items as well as a few bag/tote projects and items for the home. I love that the book includes a visual index. In my opinion, every craft books needs an index like this! Thumbnail photos allow the crafter to quickly find the project they want to make without needing to flip through the whole book. I love the Dreamy Poncho - perfect for a cool Spring day. I also love the simplicity of the Hexagon Centerpiece and Book Market Tote. Multiple photos are included for each project to show details and the colors chosen for the sample projects are appealing. Would I personally be able to complete all of these projects in only one day? Some yes, others likely not... but I'm a slower crocheter. Even as a slow crocheter, I think even I could complete the majority of these projects in just a day. Overall, this is a nice collection of projects utilizing a variety of crochet stitches resulting in a range of textures.

Thank you to Rowman & Littlefield and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest review.
