Yes, I'm biased, Yes Interweave gave me a copy of Clever Crocheted Accessories and I'm taking a large measure of joy that my hat is on the cover.
Here's a link to preview the book.
Here's a link to buy the book.
When I heard that I had a pattern included in this amazing compilation of big names in the Crochet Business, of course I was thrilled. THEN, Brett Bara told me that she liked my hat so much, she MADE ONE for herself! (GASP!) When I saw the cover with my Saturday Hat on it, I nearly fell off the couch. Really, it was exciting.
In beautiful Interweave fashion (Think Unexpected Afghans, Blueprint Crochet, Simply Crochet., etc) the photography is clean and engaging, the patterns clear and tested. In this accessory book is everything from hats to jewelry, socks, mittens, belts to capelets... no, really, it starts with a hat (mine! squee!) and ends with a Chunky Capelet (Doris Chan!) 25 Quick weekend projects.
And in between are names you will know and love: Robyn Chachula, Marly Bird, Drew Emborsky, Vickie Howell, Linda Permann, Amy Polcyn... I really would love to carry around Regina Rioux's Amazing Motif Bag.

I've read several blogs that have reviewed your book as well as shown what they've done with a few of the patterns. I'm not a seasoned crocheter, but I love doing hats, and need to go outside my comfort zone. This would be a perfect way to do it!
Wow, Ellen. That is just beautiful. You must be excited to be published, and to have Brett be excited to make one of your hats. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

I bought the book right away because of your hat on the front cover. Finished my first one last night and will make more. I love it!
Your hat is so jaunty!

Ellen, I am confused on a Row in the pattern.
For Ribbon 3 row 1 it says:
Dc in 6th ch from hook, dc in next 3 chs; ch 2, sl st on any outer ch-5-edge look of first ribbon to join, ch 2.
In row 3 it says:
...ch 2, sl st in same ch-5-edge loop of 2nd ribbon where previously joined; ch 2.
In row 1, should I sl st into the 2nd ribbon, not the 1st?
