Excellent if you are up to a new challenge of making ga sweater. Instructions are detailed enough for self-guidance. The garments are more on the classy side, but anyone can find one or more for themselves. Highly recommend this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ not an ordinary instruction book, an investment! *by D***Z on Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2012* This is really an amazing book! It boosted my confidence enough to make me try my first crochet sweater. I did knit several in my life, but never tried a crochet garment before other than accessories: a hat, a scarf, mittens, slippers, etc. The information on how to take measurements and how to understand and alter any pattern to make it fit is the true value of this book. It will free you up from the rigidness of all the other crochet garment patterns!In addition, among the ten beautiful patterns included in the book, there are several sweaters that I want to make right now.This book changed my attitude to crochet altogether. Most people think that crochet fabric is inelastic, so that close to the body garments cannot be made comfortable. The Uptown Sweater I just finished is a clear contradiction to this statement. Its stitch is so incredibly stretchy in all directions that if someone showed this sweater to me just 2 months ago, I would not have believed it was crocheted.True, the book has some errors and I hope the more accomplished crocheters will keep submitting correction suggestions to the author or to the publisher for the sake of future users.I just learned that you can download two errata from Lark Crafts' website. The book I bought few days ago from Amazon though, after using a library book for 2 months, is the first reprint and has all these corrections implemented already (and so did the library book!). If you find errors not included in these errata, you can submit them to errata@sterlingpublishing.com, so that the mistake can be remedied. Or you can contact the author via her page crochetinsider.com or through ravelry.com (must be a member). You can also peek at the sweaters' pictures included in the book at crochetinsider.com.There is another aspect than errors in the patterns that may be turning off many crocheters: the yarns used for the models and instructions are often quite expensive (kid mohair, alpaca, silk, merino superwash, etc.) and some sweaters would require yarn purchase for well over $100. It would be really helpful to provide less expensive alternatives. Not experienced crocheters may have problems with finding a suitable substitute and many crafters find animal fibers either allergenic or not appealing due to their beliefs (e.g. vegans). In addition, in my area, large box stores like Michael's do not carry DK weight in adult (non-pastel) colors and my LYS (Local Yarn Shop) does not carry cheaper yarns. Only one sweater in the book uses worsted yarn weight (#4), other yarns are thinner: DK (#3) and fingering (#1).I think this book should be in all crocheters' reference library. If you are skeptical, wait few more months for more corrections to be implemented or a second edition, but I can assure you, one can learn A LOT from this book as it is now, even if it did not have any patterns included. These patterns are meant as progressive lessons and are analyzed in detail prior to giving concise directions. I love it. I hate patterns that don't tell you where you are going, I simply don't bother to try them.I don't think it is geared towards the beginners though. I consider myself an intermediate crocheter and still had frustrating moments because of gauge adjustment to a different yarn weight, but I made it! Maybe I had some problems because I started from the last but one sweater rather than from the first in the book. I am on my second sweater from this book now and I know of people who plan to make every one of the ten designs and in multiple copies. As far as I am concerned, this book will serve me for years, it is a great investment.BTW, I am not related to the author or to the publisher in any manner and I did not receive any remuneration for writing this review. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ very instructive and easy to understand. Beautiful garments *by T***L on Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2019* I'm a relatively new crocheter (very experienced knitter) and I was looking for sweater patterns with a custom fit. I know there is a place for "free" patterns (with numerous errors!) for un-shaped garments on all those crochet blog sites with 50 million flashing ads, but I am so over them! After starting several crochet sweaters, from many different designers, and having to improvise or give up entirely due to pattern errors, I realized that this is a pervasive problem with crochet pattern sites, and I need to stop going to them. I can tolerate errors and I can tolerate way too many ads on a web site, but not both at the same time. I found this book, took a chance, and ordered it. I've read through it, and believe it is exactly what I was looking for. It's tempting to get free garment patterns, but in my experience, they are very hit or miss. I don't like wasting crochet time or yarn, so I have given up on crocheters blog sites for good. ## Frequently Bought Together - Custom Crocheted Sweaters - TOP DOWN CROCHET SWEATERS --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/3141697-dora-ohrensteincustom-crocheted-sweaters-make-garments-that-really-fit](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/3141697-dora-ohrensteincustom-crocheted-sweaters-make-garments-that-really-fit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
