Happy Moderate Knitter

Good variety of patterns and styles for whole the family. Directions are clear for those of us,who are not advanced knitters.

Very easy sweaters!

I love several of the patterns in this book. I would describe myself as a knitting novice but still found myself very comfortable with most of the patterns.The book actually breaks down the sweater into categories such as "beginner" or "intermediate" which I've found very useful. I've limited myself to beginner sweaters so far. The other nice thing about this book is that it gives the complete information for the yarn that is used. This makes substituting very easy since the yarns used tend to be on the pricey side. I am making a sweater from this book right now and it would have cost me $$$ to use the yarn listed but I was able to substitue for only a quarter of the cost...One thing to note, most of the patterns are for knitters. If you are looking for a book of crocheted sweaters I would recomend that you keep looking. I found only four crochet patterns and only two of them were at the beginner level. There are patterns for women, men and kids. I actually found a pattern that my DH likes as well. The patterns are very stylish and as a 20-something I liked almost all of them.The only thing that kept me from giving this book five stars is the small number of crocheted patterns. I find the title to be a bit deceptive.
