I rate this as a good addition to any one’s library…
The patterns do list the SYWS number for ease of substitution, while some have the various motifs charted out, and the assembly layouts are included (except for the Snowflake Shawl – level experience…). I suggest that even a beginner can make the majority of these with very little stress. For some of the shawls, it is because of the type of yarn that is used…not the pattern itself (i.e.mohair) or that there are motifs that need to be joined. The book contains patterns for 21 shawls with the skill levels generally in the intermediate stage. With the conversion chart for hooks (US/Metric) to the Standard Yarn Weight System (SYWS) (totally awesome…all the info that anyone who has a habit or need to experiment with different yarns will love) and the tips regarding construction, sizing, & blocking, all written clearly and concisely.Īn excellent section on reading patterns and a “cheat sheet” of terms and abbreviations, make this section a must for the beginner or those who have problems reading patterns. Normally, I just give the intro section a quick glance (if at all)…but the layout of this section caught my eye.
The latest in the series from Crochet Shawls Sixth&Spring Books contains an interesting grouping of information and patterns. So, here’s my guest columnist, Ronnie, with her review: I heard about how much my friend, Ronnie, like this book, so I asked her to write a review for all of us.
