2.0 out of 5 stars
disappointed,
By booknut (china grove, nc United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Donna Kooler's Crocheted Afghans (Paperback)
Was excited to see this book and was impressed with many of the designs. However, when I actually started a project that I really wanted to make, I found serious errors in the instructions. The instructions had an incorrect number of base chain stitches, incorrect stitches cited in the pattern, and a special stitch that was not referenced in the instruction but was crucial to the pattern. I have not tried the other patterns but was forced to rewrite the instructions to complete this one. I can only hope the others were better edited.

5.0 out of 5 stars
great afghans, new stitch ideas,
This review is from: Donna Kooler's Crocheted Afghans (Paperback)
This book has a good number of great afghans I plan to make. There are many pattern "creators" in this book (they are not all patterns by Donna Kooler) which makes for a great variation of styles and stitches. Up until now I have only made afghans from the Leisure Arts books, and this one has some refreshing new stitches and pattern ideas (including the cover item). I was anxious to start one from this book simply for the challenge! It does have different abbreviations than Leisure Arts uses, which threw me off a little at first, but are easy to adjust to. Baby afghans included.

Great Selection, But...,
By SO CAL CROCHET GAL (RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Donna Kooler's Crocheted Afghans (Paperback)
I LOVE to look at this book. There are soooo many of the afghans that I want to make but as I started on one, I noticed there were omissions, namely what hook size to use on specific pieces (three were three hook sizes called for in material list). I am e-mailing author and hope to get an answer, but this is a major book and it probably should have been edited better. I also really liked that in the back they list the brand of yarn and specific color numbers authors used in their model pieces. I would have given it five stars just for the beautiful pictures and new ideas, but with the mistakes, just can't. Like the other reviewer, as I make more out of this book, hope I don't find more major erros.
