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?

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.

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

Beautiful ponchos and I found the patterns easy to follow. I would recommend this book to anyone look for a variety of poncho styles, using different weight yarns.

The cover announces "new styles, new looks, new yarns". Okay, I'll give them the "new yarns" from when these ponchos came around the first time, but the looks and styles are just the same old same old.
