Customer Reviews

I appreciate the men's cardigans...

It's difficult to find books with "wearable" men's garments in them. The author also uses readily avaiable yarns, so you can get started ASAP.

Lots of variety and very well written

I have many crochet pattern books and "Seasons of Love" is amongst my favorites. This book is beautifully illustrated and contains many wonderful designs. There are sweaters (and more) that will see your entire family through every season of the year. Of course, everything is relative to personal taste, but I found this book to contain a lot of fresh looking designs that I would actually make...even for my husband! What's more is the instructions are very well written. Each pattern comes with diagrams showing the measurements of each piece per size scale and specific instructions are provided on how to make your gauge swatch. If you've seen patterns that tell you how many stitches and rows it takes to make a 4" swatch but fail to take the pattern stitch into consideration (thus leaving the guessing work up to you) then you will appreciate this.If you are looking for a variety of sweater patterns to make for the different people in you life (or yourself!) then this book is for you.

This is a great book...

I just got this yesterday and am already planning next winter's wardrobe, there are beautiful sweaters in this book; the instructions seem straightforward enough and materials are easily, available nothing too 'exotic'.
