Author: Kim Guzman Date Published: 2010 Review Date: June 22, 2011
Who is this book for? Fastidious crocheters who love traditional ripple afghans will flock to Kim Guzman’s collection of easy afghans with reversible, textured designs. These unique afghans feature chevron designs on one side that reverse to different patterns. It’s like getting two afghans in one. All five designs are rated easy and use either two or three colors.
What Yarn Does it Feature? Caron Simply Soft yarn is used for the designs in this book, but any medium weight yarn may be substituted. A minimum number of colors is used (either two or three), making color substitution foolproof. Crocheters can easily create aghans to complement their decorating schemes. Afghans in collegiate colors make cozy gifts for students, and these two or three color schemes are easily adapted to any collegiate or high school theme.What's Inside Reversible Ripple Afghans presents patterns for five full size colorful afghans. Each pattern includes pattern notes that explain how to carry and change colors. There are special stitch instructions preceding the general directions. These instructions describe how to achieve reversible effects.
Using It Colorful pictures accompany each pattern to illustrate stitch details and each side of the design. Each pattern is written in standard format with bold headings to call attention to each section of the pattern. This book is easy to read and use.
Best Pattern The Sweetheart Ripple is a charming design that will delight a young girl and would also make a sweet baby gift.
Recommendation Ripple patterns are staples in afghan design, but Kim Guzman’s reversible stitches make interesting and unique afghans. Overall Recommendation Try this interesting technique in the next afghan you crochet. Reversible Ripple Afghans earns #8 rating.
