The 29 projects featured in this collection make thoughtful gifts for friends or relatives whose lives have been affected by cancer. The simple yet stylish caps and wraps are soft and durable enough for everyday wear, and the designs are made using soft worsted – or chunky-weight yarns.

16 crochet patterns.

Beginning and intermediate skill levels on how to create six different kinds of baskets. Each basket is crocheted with a different material, including jute, fabric strips, cotton, or acrylic yarns, giving each project a distinct look.

Great crochet patterns and stitches, whether you're learning new ones or refreshing yourself on former skills. I love that two sections show how to make the squares into a colorful afghan. Some squares are easy and would be great for charity projects.
