Why this book made the list:

This is one of the most appealing crochet books I’ve encountered, especially considering that it’s an excellent book for beginners to crochet. It isn’t a brand new book, but it remains relevant and useful several years after its original publication.

Almost all the patterns in the book are home decor items. There are exceptions; the book does also include four patterns for gadget cozies. There are also flower patterns, which could be used for embellishing home decor items, wardrobe pieces or whatever else you want to do with them.
