Customer Reviews for Special Stitches Sampler Crochet Pattern Book

Used about half of these systems as well as others I had to create an Afghan I saw in a magazine.. turned out fabulous!

The afghan is beautiful. I'm having the problem of the squares coming out to different sizes - pretty big variance - even though I'm fairly certain I'm following the instructions correctly. I'm using wool, so I have a lot of leeway when I block it, but I'm still having trouble getting the squares to the same size.

I think this afghan would be difficult for those without years of experience. I've crocheted for many, many years and I still found one square undoable.

But, it is gorgeous and I believe I'll have a beautiful afghan when I'm finished.

I would like to know the name of each pattern please. Especially block 6.

Betty - We haven't provided names for the blocks or stitch patterns for this patten.

I ordered this pattern to learn some new stitches. I'm sure the finished product is beautiful.

I found the instructions a little hard to follow but that may be because I chose a pattern that is beyond my current ability. Some of the squares were easy but others were very complicated and I was unable to finish the afghan.

I decided to do a simpler pattern for now and will go back to this when I have a bit more confidence.

I have crocheted for years and although this a beautiful pattern, the instructions are very hard to follow. I would like to see video tutorials on each of the stitches. I have tried YouTube but not all stitches are included. I am very disappointed because I would love to do this Afghan.

I would like to know if these patterns include video tutorials?
