Customer Reviews

This is a good one !

I was not dissapointed at all when this book arrived. I am in love with the Cozy Wrap which is shown in a cream color and made holding 3 strands together. Really Red is gorgeous, Soft Stripes which is made holding 6 strands together is on my must do asap list. Pretty in Pink, Vintage Ripple... so many patterns to enjoy here! There are some I will make as shown, and patterns that give me ideas for original creations of my own. There is nothing stale or boring here, and if I ever lose this book I'll buy it again.

Gorgeous Afghans to Make, and FAST

This is such a useful book. I am making 2 afghans out of it right now. One is done using 2 strands of yarn and an N hook, and the other is made using tripple crochets and an H hook. Both are working up very quickly and look beautiful. This book has a nice range of patterns in a variety of styles: ripples, grannies, and mile-a-minutes. Some are very simple and some are more complicated. There are also some baby blankets to make. I think that any crocheter would enjoy this book. Mine is showing wear and tear just because I have so often flipped through the pages, admiring and planning projects that I would like to make.

Only Weight Needed!

I am currently making my first (of many, I sure) afghan from this book. The pictures are great. I especially like that they simply list the yarn needed as worsted or sport weight and let me choose a brand name that I can get locally. So many books use a specific brand of yarn and I have to determine what I need to substitute to achieve relatively the same result. I LOVE this book and plan to make many more from this book.

Afghans for everybody

This is the first afghan crochet book I ever bought and it spoiled me. I love that it has a color photo of each afghan on the page facing the pattern. The variety is wonderful. It has an afghan for your every need. I wish every afghan pattern book were set up like this one.

This book has something for everyone!

This book has a variety of afghan patterns for every skill level. This book is a special part of my collection because I used a pattern from this book called "White Lace" to crochet a very special afghan for my little girl. I didn't crochet it in white though since my favorite color is purple. I crocheted it in a very unusual purple yarn that I received as a gift from a dear friend (which made it even more special). I also love the pattern called "Lacy Shells". It is a great pattern for the beginning crocheter since the entire pattern only has 3 rows and row 3 is repeated until desired length.
