Fabulous Crocheted Ponchos: New Styles, New Looks, New Yarns

This pattern book was all I expected and more. Great for the beginner and experienced crocheter alike Annette

I gave it a 4 only because I am not really a big fan of ponchos but I am overly impressed with all of the different stitches and techniques that are packed into this book. I am going to keep just for that purpose.

I hesitated on buying this book because I didn't care for the earlier one he did called the New crochet. This is not only a wonderful book on crocheted ponchos but it's one of the best crochet books I've ever seen. Looking at the book is like watching the fireworks in Hongkong which just keep on coming. Here every poncho is a winner. Lots of interesting yarns although it's easy to substitute with their yarn equivalents. Great instructions on doing them including the difficult ones of which only 4 are in that category. Almost all the designers are new to me but according to their bios they've been crocheting from birth. Even if you're a beginner, buy this book now. How about doing another book on sweaters?
