This book is best enjoyed curled up on your sofa with a hot cup of tea, with the morning sunlight streaming in. Sit out back and enjoy the crickets chirping on a summer afternoon as you unwind your yarn and get started on one of Nikki Van De Car's beautiful crochet or knit patterns.

If you're going for simple, lovely patterns that will help you work through any stress or anxiety, this is the book for you. Remember that really beautiful yarn you've been holding onto for the perfect project? You know, that high-quality, stunningly dyed yarn that you occasionally squish lovingly and dream of creating something you'll love forever.

The best patterns in this book are the knit and crochet jewelry. Yarn jewelry is often intimidating, but these patterns are classic and elegant. They definitely aren't too intimidating. The Leafly crocheted necklace (page 13) is a great introduction to the fluid style of these patterns. This crochet necklace features beautiful leaves that dangle adorably from your neck.

Another jewelry pattern in this book is the Gleam crocheted bracelet. This one is surprising because you will learn to crochet with wire to make a modern, eye-catching bracelet you'll never want to take off.

SereKNITy is just the place to find that yarn-worthy project. Van De Car offers up crocheted flowers, knitted cowls, and more inspiration of simple patterns for things you'd use every day.
