Mooncie (Animal Hats) presents 15 projects for crocheted hats for a variety of moods and occasions. Examples include a hooded scarf, a pompom tam, a bowler hat, and a pinwheel beret. The patterns are for the more experienced crocheter or enthusiastic beginner and, according to the author, can be completed in one day. The plans are versatile, with choices of different yarns and stitches for varying effects. Some hats can be made with a choice of yarns depending on whether readers want to wear it in winter or summer. Each plan includes a materials list, method instructions, and a chart pattern. Excellent photographs are included that show the hats from different angles. Instructions for each hat includes three different sizes. A concluding chapter on techniques discusses how to get started, how to read the instructions, and how to make stitches and seams.
