A copy of the crochet Mirror Image Scarves book from Leisure Arts has been given to me as a sample to review, the opinions are my own and I have not been financially compensated in any way for this.
You’ll love the easy mirror image technique of these eight scarves by Ruthie Marks they borrow their shapes from beautiful rolling hills, babbling brooks, intricate bridgework and ornate arches.
The scarves in this book were made using a variety of yarn weights, but any brand of the specified weight of yarn may be used.

My Review of the Crochet Mirror Image Scarves
The Crochet Mirror Image Scarves book is designed for beginners as well as the more advanced crocheters, all patterns written are made with basic crochet stitches and are in USA format. It is a lovely book to add to your library with full color photos included for each pattern.
A number of easy stitches from shells to picots are used in these beautifully and well written designs.
The mirror image technique involves working in rows, crocheting half of each scarf at a time, working along the opposite sides of the foundation chain.
The book also contains basic stitch instructions, hook sizes and yarn weights at the end, plus reference in each pattern to diagrams.
I thought each one was very pretty and reasonably easy to accomplish and I am sure your family and friends would love one as a gift.
