[Ligaya · Rating 3 out of 5]

There are 22 hat patterns here that range from the super simple Ribbed Cap to the complex Fair Isle Ski Cap to the weird Bulky Brimmed Hat. The photos are professional, though the detail shots could be larger. Stitch diagrams and color charts are included for most patterns. Nothing in here struck my fancy, I had better luck in the first Caps & Hats book, but there is a variety of hat styles here to keep a newer knitter occupied.

These caps were the bees' knees in 2003, however, styles have changed. There are maybe 2-3 hats still fashionable in 2021.
