5.0 out of 5 stars Love the "Seasons" series!, March 12, 2006

By	scientific mom (Omaha, NE) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Afghans for All Seasons (Paperback)

This is the fourth "Afghans for All Seasons" book Leisure Arts has put out, and it is my favorite. I've made 4 blankets from it for gifts, and there are still others I want to do! The directions are easy to follow, using the usual abbreviations in all Leisure Arts books.

I love the wide variety in all the "seasons" books compared to other Leisure Arts books. From my sister in Houston to my brother in Detroit, I can find a pattern suitable for any climate, age, gender, etc. I must confess I chose different colors for each blanket than the book has (to match decor) but that was easy to do.

I also love the wide variety of sizes, complexity, and speed. I was able to make a large afghan for my tall brother very quickly because the pattern used two threads together. Another smaller baby pattern was perfect for my friend's new nursery. One pattern that they showed in a solid color was easy to convert to two colors. Still another I made for my mother was an easy, repetitive pattern, so I was able to take the blanket anywhere to work on without bringing along the book (much easier to just sit and chat without stopping to check the book directions!)

If you want to get just one book with a wide diversity of GOOD patterns, this or another of the "seasons" series is what I recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent patterns that I come back to again and again, March 28, 2005

By	Lady Atana "lady_atana" (Atlanta, MO USA) - See all my reviews

This was the first crochet pattern book I ever bought, and boy did I make a great investment! I now have over 30 crochet afghan pattern books, but I always return to this one. The designs are varied and suitable for different skill levels. There is a wide variety of afghans from light aghans perfect for a picnic, to cute and cuddly baby afghans, to thick warm and cozy afghans perfect for cold winter nights. I have made several afghans from this book, and there are still several more I would like to make.

I highly recommend this pattern book as a classic reference to cover all your afghan needs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great crochet patterns for all skill levels., September 1, 1998

By A Customer

This book has different afghan patterns for every season. Personally, I have a couple of favorites in this book. The first is called "Spring Ripple". The picture shows this afghan in Mint and Peach. I made it twice in Kentucky Blue and White for my two sisters-in-law who are avid Kentucky Wildcat Fans. My second favorite is called "English Garden". the picture shows this afghan in Light rose, Rose and Green. I made it for my neice in Pink and two shades of Purple. The patterns work up really nice and I am very pleased to have this book in my pattern collection.
