With more than 40 fabulous afghan patterns from master designer Donna Kooler, crocheters will grab their needles and stitch to their hearts' content. These incredible blankets come in a range of styles and colors, from sweet baby blues to bright hot pinks. Some are filled with country charm, others feature festive designs, still more are sophisticated, warm and cozy, and just right for masculine comfort. There's one for a wedding present, plus soft and gentle afghans to cuddle a child, a cool cotton throw to keep away the chill, a "take and make" design that's easily portable, and many more.
This book has a good number of great afghans I plan to make. There are many pattern "creators" in this book (they are not all patterns by Donna Kooler) which makes for a great variation of styles and stitches. Up until now I have only made afghans from the Leisure Arts books, and this one has some refreshing new stitches and pattern ideas (including the cover item). I was anxious to start one from this book simply for the challenge! It does have different abbreviations than Leisure Arts uses, which threw me off a little at first, but are easy to adjust to. Baby afghans included.
