I think it's far better than just a pattern, I love getting the book with Illustrations as well as the included patterns.

I received the book and was surprised to see that all the patterns were new to me.  I have several other patterns but none of these.  I would highly recommend this book for all the patterns, not just the ornaments..

I loved the designs and the variety. Among the Jackets, sweaters, cardigans, tops and scarves, I saw a granny square purse that I fell in love with. I did not like the loop-stitch set. The pictures are clear and the charts are next to the pattern. At the back of the book there are knitting techniques, abbreviations and yarn information including mail/web addresses. Very useful book.

My title really says it all, I love the book, the diagrams are great, very well organized, nice variety of patterns... it's just that I have very similar patterns to some of these "unexpected [and innovative] afghans"  in my medium-sized crochet library

Wonderful book of patterns so easy to follow.  I love the beginners patterns and I am soooo a beginner but with this book I slightly moved up a notch, thank you very much. I needed to  know the very basics and yep it was there, Materials and Notions and Crochet hooks (what size) that helped a lot and notice the photo of the types of hooks and if your work is too tight or too loose for me, duh check out the hooks:D  What is so fascinating about this book the beautiful photos and easy to follow instructions, hey I did it, you can too.  Thank you very much, again.  I won this book on Goodreads, First Read Giveaway.  Thank you, Darlene Cruz

The patterns in this book are wonderful.  I followed the written instructions as I  found them easier to read than trying to understand the charts.  As a novice chocheter, I would have liked a bit more direction on how to accurately place legs, ears, eyes, etc. although the photographs are so good that I could generally copy them.  I have only attempted shawls and afghans before and was intrigued to find out how I could make a shape.  I found the instructions in the round gave the toy the contours needed and I loved the fact that I didn't have to sew up a lot of seams.
I  have only made one so far, the camel, and it turned out well.  I also made a multi-coloured blanket for it .  There are so many lovely designs that I am deciding which one to do next.  I would advise any serious crocheter to try this book.  There's still time to get some Christmas presents made.

I found this book at a local quilt shop and picked it up for the stocking patterns.  I was able to mix and match elements of the various patterns to create the stockings I wanted.  Overall the patterns are pretty clear, I would prefer more diagrams in the pattern section.  There were diagrams in the general info section, however I think most people who pick up the book already know how to sew and cut a pattern.

I also made the apron and plan to make the card holder next.

I am very happy with how the stockings and the apron came out and look forward to trying more projects from the book!

I loved the book. I was very pleased with this book of vintage crochet bib patterns. There was a lot of variety and I definitely feel it was a book well worth the money. I plan on making each and every one of them.
