Editorial Review: Product Description: Say "goodbye" to crochet's stiff, boxy, hippie-child reputation, and "hello" to Crochet that Fits ... garments that fit your shape, accessories that fit your style, and looks that fit right in with today's fashion trends! This book teaches an innovative, easy way to crochet fashions that are soft, shaped and drapeable--from a little black dress that fits like a glove and a lacy baby-doll top, to cute and cozy slippers, ruffled shrugs and hobo bags. By using Mary Jane Hall's Graduated Stitch Method, along with the correct size hook and yarn, anyone can make flattering, form-fitted items! Different stitch heights do all the shaping for you, without the hassle and confusion of figuring out increases and decreases. With this method you are essentially building garments with squares and rectangles, but the finished product doesn't look at all boxy.

 Rating:  - Excellent! Highly recommended!This book does exactly what it claims - teaches a graduated stitch method easily, meaning you can create beautiful garments with no fuss. The patterns are beautiful - and it is so easy to see how to develop the designs to fit your own body and adapt the method for your own use. Beautifully clear instructions - very highly recommended! I think all crocheters will love this book. Rating: - LOVE LOVE LOVEone of the Best crochet books out there. I have made the cute "fishermans" hat twice, one for me, one as a gift, the mittens, and am working on the sleeveless turtle neck for myself and the little skirt fot my daughter. The stitches are simple and beautiful! Rating: - a KEEPERThis is another MUST have crochet book. Awesome, easy and stylish designs. Mary Jane Hall is my favorite crochet designer. I hope she keeps coming out with these amazing books. If you do not crochet, this would make a great gift for the crocheter in your life:) Rating:  - Inventive technique, awful designs.While the fitting techniques presented in this book are very useful, the projects are lackluster at best. One nice dress does not justify buying this book filled with lumpy, amateurish accessories. And as another reviewer pointed out, a large number of the patterns do not require fitting techniques anyway. I was eagerly awaiting this book's release and am very sorry to give such a negative review, but it is simply not a keeper. There are many great books these days with modern, stylish crochet ... Read More Rating:  - Mixed feelings on content...The black dress on the cover of this book is a great crochet design. Inside the book you'll find two more creative garment designs -- one for a cap-sleeve top and another for a sleeveless turtleneck sweater. My criticism of this book lies in the fact that many of the other designs are for scarves, headbands, purses, mittens, etc. When it comes to creating "crochet that fits," I think most crocheters like myself are looking for tips on creating sweaters, dresses, and skirts that fit ...
