Basic designs

I wanted to describe the projects in this book for those who are ordering online, sight unseen:1. feminine filet vest with crocheted flowers on it2. longsleeve summer filet cardigan3. summer shell with a big opening in the back4. waist-length, longsleeve fitted sweater5. shortsleeve "overblouse" with a plunging neckline6. shortsleeve casual top7. longsleeve bolero jacket8. baggy longsleeve tunic9. cap 10. another longsleeve tunic11. another longsleeve tunic12. longsleeve sweater with an oriental motif13. baggy longsleeve pulloverOnly a couple of the designs have buttons, most are pullovers or are meant to hang open. I think these sweaters could probably be done by beginning crocheters, because they are not terribly elaborate or fussy. The pictures & illustrations are in color. The back matter includes how to do the stitches used to make the sweaters, guide to abbreviations, profiles of the designers, and other etc.
