Debut author Dougherty, who sells her patterns online as Crochet by Jennifer, combines several of her top-selling designs with an array of new designs. Her specialty is cozy, textured accessories, crocheted with worsted- or bulky-weight yarn, in sizes appropriate for the whole family. The aesthetic is simple and classic, and many of the designs appear as sets, with options for headgear (hats, beanies, and ear warmers) along with matching cowls, gloves, and boot cuffs. Dougherty's patterns are carefully written, with an introductory section that clearly outlines sizes, materials required, and the abbreviations and techniques used. VERDICT Winter is coming, and crocheters seeking quick, cozy accessories that don't sacrifice comfort for style will enjoy this book.
