Customer Reviews
too many scarf patterns; too few interesting patterns
Lots of scarf patterns and none of them that I liked. In fact, I did not find a single pattern in this book that interested me. I’ll probably try to sell it on ebay.
Lots of inspiration for life and for crochet
So far, I’ve made two sweaters from the patterns included in this book. The skill level is easier than indicated and the patterns themselves are easy to follow. I like that the author makes comments on several of the patterns - one being to make it in a color you might not choose, to stretch your comfort zone. Overall a good resource for patterns in a wide range of sizes.
Great book!
This is a great book - clear instructions and some great funky accessories and beautiful clothes - I love the tangerine top. I’m so glad I got this book - the only problem is I just don’t want to put it down! Any crocheter would be happy with this book.
