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. The aran sweaters on the back cover are absolutely gorgeous. The small pic really doesn't do them justice. The cabled aran does a great job of showing off Melissa Leapman's design genius and no longer makes me envious of...

It actually deserves 20 stars!

I love Melissa Leapman's sweater designs; they are not too difficult, 99% of the patterns use yarn or thread that is easily obtainable or easily substituted for.

I really enjoy making sweaters, and Melissa Leapman's books are definitely top...

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...
