Cons: Extreme lack of instructions, boring/too conservative designs in only 1 or 2 colors
Despite what the title and even the introduction to the book suggest, this book was not put together with beginners in mind. If you're new to crochet, I recommend this book for a clear, thorough introduction to the techniques you will need:

The Complete Guide is a great addition to your library if you have the basics of Yarmulka crocheting under your belt.

It has a lot of charted patterns for adding as decoration around the kipot edge. They may be worthwhile, but not until I find a pattern.

Once you've done one or two yourself, you could easily make up this kind of pattern yourself. I also agree that there are newer styles, including ...
