My 15-year-old daughter taught herself to crochet by sitting down with these instructions one rainy afternoon and our life hasn't been the same since: she's crafted beautiful afghans, scarves and hats, and has now moved on to mittens and just last night...slipper sox. Ah, such bliss as another damp Northwest winter sets in!
