3.0 out of 5 stars
This book requires knitting skills as well as crochet., 22 Oct 1999

This review is from: Glorious Crocheted Sweaters: More Than Sixty Exquisite Sweaters to Make and Enjoy (Paperback)
There are great color pictures, and the stitches are all explained carefully, in case there are one or two you're not familiar with. My only concern is that nearly every pattern requires a ribbing knit. If you're unwilling or unable to knit, keep looking. If that's not a problem, this should be great.

Excellent quality sweater patterns for crocheters, 21 Sep 1998

If you've ever envied the variety of sweater patterns knitters have to chose from and wished there were more good crocheted patterns out there then this is the book for you.
From simple to challenging, every pattern is beautiful. I only wish they went to extra large sizes, but they do go to large.
The clear instructions and beautiful color photographs show you all you want to know about a pattern. This is one of the best books out there for crocheted sweaters.

Great book, even if you don't knit!, 12 Jan 2001

This book has lots of beautiful and unique sweaters to crochet. Some patterns do have knit neck and sleeve edgings, but I had no problem using crochet for the edgings instead. If you don't ever adapt patterns to suit your own taste and skills, this may not be the book for you. Otherwise, it is wonderful - don't pass it up!
