Our Pattern Reviews

We know that when you spend money on a pattern you want it to be clear and accurate, but it is so hard to tell from the envelope if the pattern is right for you.  We aim to help make your pattern purchasing decisions easier by giving reviews of a wide variety of patterns.  In our reviews, we will always cover:  Name of the pattern, the source, sizes available, special materials required, and skill level required.

And we have our own special rating system.  For the worst of patterns, we will give ONE and

for the best of patterns, we will give FIVE 

We of course invite you to browse around the blog and check out our reviews.  But, if you are looking for something in particular, here are pattern reviews by category with a link to the review and the rating.
