Format:Paperback
Jan Eaton's crochet blocks taught me to crochet. Now this book is teaching me to knit lace. The instructions are clear and easy to follow - and, so far, error-free. However, it's not 200 patterns, since more than half are colour variations; on top of that some patterns are very similar - how many ripple stitch patterns do exist anyway? The book includes directions for a scarf, a shawl, pillows and an afghan, although is more about providing ideas than instructions. Even though this book is about stitches, not projects, some directions on the approximate amount of yarn required for the different patterns would have been very much welcome. All that being said, I do enjoy just flipping pages and wondering what to try next, just like with the crochet blocks! A sound addition to my craftsbook collection.

I borrowed this book from the library and renewed it several times before receiving a (requested) copy for my birthday. I've made at least half a dozen scarves and blankets since, trying different patterns. I don't knit but found plenty of crochet designs to stimulate my hook, and like seeing the alternative colour suggestions. Interesting for both beginners and experienced yarnaholics.

I bought this Item sometime ago and many of the designs I find clearly comprehensive. However, there are some that I find a little confusing and led me into errors.
In the overall, I find it a good quality book!

200 Ripple Stitch Patterns
Easy to follow even for begginers to knitting and crochet work but not speaking down to the more experienced. Good photography, use of symbols, layout and format size.
