50 Knit and Crochet Styles Misleading Title

I love to crochet and am learning to knit. This book has BEAUTIFUL knit patterns for all levels. However, there was only one crochet pattern that was no where near the level of skill required to crochet something beautiful. I felt like the pattern was included just to get a pattern included. Beautiful book for knitters. Not worth it if you are a crocheter.

Happy Happy

I was very happy with the nice selection of patterns. I would have preferred them to start with one size smaller.

great buy

lots of good pattern, my only negative is that the patterns are sometimes broken up so that only part of them are with the initial page (the rest are at the back of the book) Would have preferred for each patten to be together completely. Nice patterns

Family Circle easy knit and crochet

I got the book and thumbed through it a bit. The pictures do help; however, I would prefer to see the schematics/charts right next to the pattern instead of most of it being continued at the end of the book. It has a very good variety of sweaters I would wear; additionally, it includes some sweaters for men.

Great selection of Womanly sized knits!

This book is wonderful. It has a great range of styles for different body types and has something to flatter every figure, in the average woman's range. The patterns are wonderfully written and pictured in this book. The skill levels required for the patterns range from the easy to the experienced with a good number being intermediate but still easy enough to follow that a new knitter could attempt it. For these reasons I love this book and have recommended it to my friends who have purchased it as well!
