Book Reviews of Double Stitch: Designs for the Crochet Fashionista
Book Review: Buy this book NOW!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVE this book. I am an up and coming crochet designer as well. But when I saw this book, I was humbled. These ladies have some serious talent. I'm working on my second project out of this book. I'm making the tube Apron top for me to wear this weekend. I also made the poncho for my 8 year old daughter. There is something in this book for everyone. All you have to do is change the yarn and adjust the size. There is something in this book for old and young alike. No matter what size you are. And a lot of these items are adjustable to give you a truly custom fit... I am in LOVE!Book Review: Such a wonderful book!!!

I have been a fan of Double Stitch for a very long time and have followed them since first seeing their work online on another independent crafters site, so when I heard they were producing a book I was truely excited. This book has wonderful photos of all the products and the instructions are simple to follow especially if you are a beginner like me. I would recommend this book to anyone that is looking for new and fun ways to express their individuality. Tumbs up to the Double Stitch sisters!Book Review: Amazing book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't get easily excited with a crochet book because I have seen so many, I have also designed many projects by myself. But this one is amazing! I love almost everything from it, I already finished the cover shrug (actually it took me one evening to make it), but I did not sewed the feathers because I am very animal friendly crocheter... The spring issue of the Interweaven Crochet shows more photos from the book for your reference. The explications are very easy to follow, but pay attention since there are some mistakes: you better measure the garment before trusting the real stitch number given in the instructions (it refers for example to the white cover shrug, there is a pretty mess). But don't care, the book is still worth all the money it costs. Congratulations to sisters Simmons, what a great taste.Book Review: One of the best crochet books in a long time

Love this book! I read about the designers in a crochet magazine. Seeing their designs, I couldn't wait for the book. Not disappointed at all. It is gorgeous. Very colorful and funky. Erika and Monika (the authors) seem to have good spirits and are passionate about making wearable crochet fashions. The patterns are very easy. I highly recommend this book.
