"Dress-to-Impress has rekindled my love neckwear! Forget what you know about boring traditional scarves, these patterns are about fun, classy, new takes on a traditional accessory."

"Scarves are generally thought of as being relatively basic projects...But scarves don't have to be simple or plain. In fact, they can be the stunning highlight to an outfit, making you look more dressed up and put together than you would be otherwise. That's the thought behind [this book]. The book uses lace, colorwork, shaping and other techniques to produce a collection of creative, pretty neckwear unlike a lot of the scarves you've ever seen."

"The designs are chic and trendy, something so many pattern books are lacking...Another thing that lacks in so many pattern books is photos and charts, but not in Dress-to-Impress Knitted Scarves. You'll find 19 charts, 29 schematics, and 131 color photos!!!!"
