Review on 🧶 Deluxe Worsted Yarn: 50 Knitted Gifts for All Seasons and Occasions (2013-07-23) by Doris Tran

I am disappointed with this book. My first project was a rabbit hat. This pattern was knitted in flat knit and turned out to be a complete failure. As I had already promised, I made another hat (having discarded the first one) in the round. It was much easier than knitting a flat knit with stitches and fitted better. The second pattern I made was egg tips. The 2nd RT instructions are for four stitches, but the setting is for two stitches. After making the adjustment, I made six hats pretty quickly. Tonight I completely wasted the evening by starting a cute and casual hat. 144 loops are dialed into the scheme and it is shown that the repeat of the scheme is 18 loops, but it is actually 19 repeats. I pulled out the first row and knitted it a second time before realizing it was a pattern error and not mine. This is another template I need to customize. Does every template have such errors? The only reason I'm giving this book three stars is because of how cute it is. Fortunately, I'm an experienced knitter and can adapt, but I will not recommend this book to my students or less experienced knitters.
