The most complete book of aran stitches I've found to date!,
By Mrs L D Allenby (Lincolnshire England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 220 Aran Stitches and Patterns: 5 (The Harmony Guides) (Paperback)
A very comprehensive book of aran stitches suitable for knitters from the less experienced to advanced. With clearly written instructions beautifully diagramed, the book fills you with insperation. It is not only a must for anyone who likes to design their own Aran knitwear, but is indeed a book no one serious about knitting should be without.

The best in Aran knitting.,
By Vicki Marty (Mettmenstetten Switzerland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 220 Aran Stitches and Patterns: 5 (The Harmony Guides) (Paperback)
This is a fantastic book for Aran knitting, easy to understand, with all kinds of stitches from simple to advanced. The only drawback is it has no pattern for an Aran sweater, which would be very useful.

Designing your own Aran Isle made simple,
By Martha A. Baskin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 220 Aran Stitches and Patterns: 5 (The Harmony Guides) (Paperback)
This book provides a brief history of Aran knitting, an overview and how to explanation of aran knitting techniques, explanation of how to design an Aran Isle sweater, and written as well as chart instructions on 220 patterns. What I found most helpful was the grouping of patterns according to row repeats, from 2 row patterns to 48 row patterns. There were 14 1/2 page examples of Aran combinations with tables showing the row and stich number for each pattern used. These combination examples illustrate how the Aran designs of different length and with can be group to create unique designs. This book is ideal for someone familiar with Aran Isle knitting who wants the freedom to design their own creations. A book most useful to intermediate to advance knitters, it covers the basics so well it would also be helpful to beginners with an interest in design. 16 of 16 people found the following review helpful:

By Gillian M Davis - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 220 Aran Stitches and Patterns: 5 (The Harmony Guides) (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book for beginners and experts alike.Easy clear directions and loads of patterns to choose from. I am useing this book, at the moment, to create an original jumper/sweater using combination sets of cables and moss stitches. One of the most useful pattern books I have ever read. 15 of 15 people found the following review helpful:

Lots of Patterns . . . Great for Creativity,
By M. H. Eldred "maegan100" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 220 Aran Stitches and Patterns: 5 (The Harmony Guides) (Paperback)
This book has some great stitches (I especially love the bobbles)! They range from relatively easy, to super complicated. Each stitch also has a picture next to it of what a completed swatch looks like, which is great for visual people like me! Another great thing is the grouping by number of rows in the pattern, which makes designing your own Aran creations easy. My biggest complaint: it's not spiral bound, so the pages start to come out after use.
