No charts

I was disappointed to discover only written instructions and no stitch diagrams which I prefer. I think this should be noted in the book’s description. Still it contains two fisherman/Aran style cabled sweaters which is why I bought the book. I should be able to tackle these once I complete the authors Aran Cables class on Craftsy.

This book is top notch!

It is a pity that the sneak peak inside this book doesn't show you the best it has to offer because it is filled with some of the most gorgeous sweater and cardigan crochet designs that I have ever seen.

Thank you, thank you, thank...

Terrific sweater book!

This is the best crochet book I own and I have dozens of them. This book doesn't just give you the basics, but the sweaters are gorgeous. I never thought I'd find so many items I wanted to make all in one book. It has everything from vests to a nice fisherman's sweater. The great thing is that all the yarns listed for the patterns are not only readily available, but also reasonably priced. She uses everything from Red...
