Book Reviews of Lion Brand Yarn: Just Socks: Favorite Patterns to Knit and Crochet (Lion Brand Yarn)
Book Review: a review for the crocheters
Summary: 3 Stars
I like Lion Brand yarns and their crochet patterns. I'm not a knitter, so the knit patterns have no interest for me (just the same as knitters who don't crochet wouldn't be interested in a crochet pattern). Out of the 30 patterns that are given, 6 patterns are for crochet.
But I have made the one pattern (Joan's socks) at least 3 times to rave reviews. The pattern is clear and concise and easy to understand even if you never made socks before. I learned how to turn a sock heel and it wasn't as hard as I had thought it would be. I have not tried the other crochet patterns yet, but the Christmas stocking pattern looks interesting. I think it's possible the knitted Christmas stocking and the crocheted Christmas stocking photos were reversed - at least that's how it looks to me.
Some of these patterns have appeared on the back of various Lion Brand yarn wrappers. Some are free on the Lion Brand website. You may (or may not) want to search there to see if the patern is what you would like.
I bought the book mostly for the Joan's crocheted socks pattern. Yes, I do have a paper copy of it but it's getting smeary and ratty looking. Since I plan to make some more of those socks, I needed a better/cleaner copy. Plus I am definitely planning to make at least one Christmas stocking. I can make it in any color I wish since I have the pattern - maybe purple and gold?
I recommend this book because it breaks down to about $2 a pattern for the crocheters. If you knit, obviously, you have a lot more choices. But $2 a pattern is really not a bad price. There are other crochet sock books available, too.
