Delicate Crochet: 23 Light and Pretty Designs for Shawls, Tops and More

By Sharon Silverman, Published by Stackpole Books

Important Disclosure: Most of the pages on this website are unbiased crochet book recommendations. However, this one is NOT — because I contributed 2 of the accessory patterns to this book, a necklace and a pair of ruffled fingerless gloves. These are 2 of the nicest crochet accessory patterns I have ever designed; I think they are simply gorgeous, and they are two of my most frequently-complimented crochet projects.

The other accessory patterns included in this book are also fantastic. There are some lovely scarf, cowl and shawl patterns included. So, of course, I strongly believe this book deserves its place at the top of my list of best crochet accessory pattern books.
