This is a wonderful book for beginners and experts alike.

Easy clear directions and loads of patterns to choose from.

I am useing this book, at the moment, to create an original jumper/sweater using combination sets of cables and moss stitches.

One of the most useful pattern books I have ever read.

This review is from: 220 Aran Stitches and Patterns: Volume 5 (Paperback)

This book has some great stitches (I especially love the bobbles)! They range from relatively easy, to super complicated. Each stitch also has a picture next to it of what a completed swatch looks like, which is great for visual people like me! Another great thing is the grouping by number of rows in the pattern, which makes designing your own Aran creations easy. My biggest complaint: it's not spiral bound, so the pages start to come out after use.

This review is from: 220 Aran Stitches and Patterns: Volume 5 (Paperback)

A wonderful book with wonderful stitch patterns. As an expert knitter, I found the beginning pages a good review and learned a few things as well. My only bone to pick: I don't like the way the charts for the return even numbered rows are coded to appear as the work looks from the front. When you actually have to pearl, the chart will indicate a knit stitch. Somewhat confusing at times, but if you know what you're doing, this can be overcome. The row by row written instructions don't do this, but that is no help to me, as I find chart instruction much easier to follow and don't even read the written instructions. All in all though, I would highly recommend this book

5.0 out of 5 stars What a great resource
Whenever I decide to design a sweater with cables, I turn to this book. It's easy to use and the charts are great. It's a wonderful asset for any knitters library.
