Crochet Boutique: Book Review + Free Pattern + Giveaway!
I recently received this book, Crochet Boutique by Rachael Oglesby, to review and I also have a copy to give away! I was so excited to be offered the opportunity because a lot of the projects really appeal to me! The patterns in this book are very trendy and youthful! Stuff that I would actually make! I tend to be turned off by a lot of pattern books because the patterns aren’t really my style but I really recommend checking this one out! One reason that this book really appeals to me is because the patterns in it are very similar to ones that I have/would design myself. I also love that many of the projects use some of my favorite yarns such as Lion Brand’s Hometown USA and Naturally Caron Country.
The Triangle Fringe Scarf was the first project from the book that really caught my eye, and I knew that I had to make this one! I’ll be making a separate post soon to show you mine! I loved how easy and quick it was to make! I can totally see myself making several of these as Christmas gifts!
I also love this Sunburst Beret! It’s made with Naturally Caron Country, which is one of my favorite yarns (I reviewed it here) and is perfect for slouchy hats like this! This one is definitely next on my to-make list!
The book has all sorts of wearables and accessories to make as well as some things for your home like a lampshade and an afghan. This bulky Cuddle Cowl and these legwarmers are some of my favorites!
Here is a free copy of the Bonnie Beret (above) crochet pattern for you to try! (click to download PDF file)

These look like some fun and easy patterns to work up. I am a fan of the triangle scarf and the sunburst beret just looking at the pics here!
I really like the patterns especially the starburst hat. Would really love the book. Am planning on really getting back to my crocheting. Just too much farming and ranching to get anything done right now. : )

I already follow :)
I agree that a lot of the books out there for us crocheters are not quite as fashion forward as I would like. This book looks great! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I agree with a lot of patterns in books being uninteresting. This however does catch my eye. *fingers crossed!!*
PS I love the patterns on your website!
We have the same taste in trends. This is an awesome book. I will definitely laminate it because my hands will be on it all of the time.
I subscribe through Google Reader and I would love to win this book! I am in my twenties and I often feel like crochet publishers are catering to a much older audience. Love the patterns and photo styling in this book.
Subscribed through e-mail (thought I already was… ah well). Seriously NEED this book… that Triangle Fringe Scarf is gorgeous! MUST MAKE IT!!!
