Customer Reviews

100 Flowers to Knit & Crochet just got it yesterday and it is every bit what I wanted.

I have already made two of the flowers. They are beautiful. There are instructions for knitters and different ones for crocheters like me. There are flowers, butterflies, vegetables, fruit and leaves. So much to keep you occupied.

100 Flowers to Knit & Crochet

100 Flowers to Knit & Crochet: A Collection of Beautiful Blooms for Embellishing Garments, Accessories, and More This is a lovely book - well written and illustrated and the instructions are clear. It even has suggestions for using the flowers in the back of the book. I am happy I bought it as it has flowers (eg. lavender) that I have not seen directions for.

Beautiful Flowers, great variety and clear instructions

I am very impressed with this book. Not only are there plenty of flowers to make with beautiful and enticing photographs, but the instructions are very clear and accurate. Translating the American stitches into Australian (crochet) is very easy. The introduction and instructions at the front of the book are beautifully laid out and further, the flowers are divided into various levels of difficulty. I am most happy with my purchase and thoroughly recommend this book to others.

Wonderful diagrams and clear directions!

After only a few hours, I've completed the flower I tried first! Love the way that the gallery of finished projects is arranged by color, and the actual page number of the directions are next to the flower. The crochet diagrams I haven't tried yet, but feel confident they will be even more awesome a help. Lovely book!

delightful

As a knitter I am often disappointed by a book of knitted and crocheted designs. Frequently there are very few knitted. In this book almost half the flowers are knitted and they are stunning. This book is an absolute delight. I think it would be fun to combine some of these flowers with the Wild tea cosies.

Excellent variety and clear instructions

I received this book yesterday afternoon after work and was delighted with the layout and quality of the instructions. There is a general information section, followed by a photo directory of all of the flowers included, grouped by color, then sections for knitted items and crochet items. Each section is further grouped into easy, intermediate, and advanced patterns. The patterns themselves are cross-referenced to the photo directory by number and include both text instructions and chart. I finished a knitted rose last night before bed, and started a crocheted rose this morning while riding transit to work. I'm extremely pleased with the book and the my results.
