5.0 out of 5 stars Designs for warm weather
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2017

This book is a great one to have for anyone that lives where there is a warm season. It is filled with fun patterns with a wide range of sizes. Each pattern has a paragraph to introduce it and to tell a little about the design. Then they have pattern notes which gives particular hints for each item along with a link to a website to go download and print a chart of the pattern.

The back of the book includes special knitting techniques, abbreviations, designers and yarn sources. All together there are 32 items to make which range from wraps to a beach chair.

I enjoyed looking at this book and now I am going to begin to plan my first project from it.

I purchased this book from Amazon.com and a review was not required.

Haven't tried any of the patterns yet, but they look like very wearable and usable. I'm pleased to see that some of the suggested yarns are still commercially available, though many others are not.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bring a Hankie to the Store - Some Patterns Will Make You Drool
Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2009

This book has some fun and wonderful patterns. There is something in here for everyone who is an advanced beginner or higher.

My favorite patterns were the Windansea Hat, the Anacapy Aran Wrap (though, for the life of me, it did not seem like a summer project), the Bordeaux Lace Shawl, the Cinnamon Bay Beach Bag Blanket (which, after all the time it would take me to knit that I would NEVER EVER NEVER use it for a bag) and the Bridgetown lace-paneled cardigan. The cardigan actually made me salivate and I can't wait to knit it.

As for the blanket-bag, I'd fold it and use it for a shawl - -it's that beautiful. It would be such a waste of time to shlump it all up to use as a beach bag.

This book has many patterns that I'd knit, it's a good resource and the instructions are very clear. For that reason, I rate it a '5'.

This book is a must have for the following reasons: I live on a tropical island. All of the patterns in the book offer size range up to 3X. Any pattern that has a graph offers a web link to print the graph in large bold face for easy reading while knitting. All of the directions are in simple language, and anything unusual about the construction appears in a tip box before the item. There are no surprises, except for the variety of beautiful things that anyone, of any size can knit to wear in a tropical climate.

3.0 out of 5 stars lots of sunscreen needed
Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2009

All 32 projects are shown in small photos before the contents page. The designers come from online sources such as Knitty. I like the 3 shawls, the blue lace cardi, the green short sleeved top with lace up center, the green shrug with long sleeves, the Puget Sound brown sweatshirt, Aviara the ruffled surplice top and the beach bag blanket which would make a nice baby blankie if you left off the i-cord. I definitely didn't like the bathing suit which reminds me of 40s style suits or the smocked tube top which has no top above the breast area. Most of the items are not for wearing outside in the strong sunlight and they would be too cold in the ac as well. None of the yarns are given a yarn number so you have to rely on the gauge which isn't always an accurate indicator. Since I have no access to any of these yarns many of which use unusual materials such as hemp with cotton (cover shawl)this is an important factor for me. I am very pleased with the book itself; e.g. good large print, fine charts and schematics. I look forward to more books from Wiley.

This is the first time I've bought a book of knitting patterns sight unseen based on the free pattern for the sun hat. Every pattern is a winner, I'll definitely get my money's worth. It includes sleeveless and short sleeved tops with matching cardigans, so it's not just for summer.

A nice book. The layout is pleasing. The projects are inspiring. A nice selection of summer yarns suggested so you can experiment with lightweight hot weather knits. A nice book.

I couldn't wait to get this book. My favorite pattern is the Anacapa Wrap, featured on the cover. I also love the Silver Strand Ocean Waves Wrap, the innovative beach bag and the Alishan pullover. Beautifully photographed, the book demonstrates the possibilities when knitting for warm climates.

E' il secondo libro della Porter che acquisto e questa autrice propone modelli belli, dettagliati, con spiegazioni semplici che credo possa seguire anche una principiante. Veramente ben fatto, ne consiglio l'acquisto.

Summer doesn't last very long in Canada, but it's hot and humid. So great to find a book that's full of fun and useful patterns to wear in the hot months and in an expanded size range. I knit for very big and very small and in between, so a large size range is wonderful!
