Do not waste your money. *by H***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 May 2021* The patterns are indeed rich, gorgeous and fascinating. The book, or at least the new version - I have not seen the original - is useless. One needs charts for colour knitting, obviously, but charts for complex cables, shaping etc? Completely unusable, and I say that as a very experienced knitter. I can only conclude that the bizarre vogue for expecting unsuspecting prospective knitters to squint, curse and whimper across tiny, unreadable, miserably ghastly charts instead of working calmly through written instructions is just sheer laziness on the part of the pattern writers. There is ONE pattern in this book for which there are proper written instructions, and it is not the one I most wanted to knit. Americans seem to have an addiction both to charts and circular needles (why, seriously, why?), but skilled and experienced British knitters can actually read, sometimes even without magnifying glasses and calculators. Had I seen the inside of this book in a bookshop, I might have loved the pictures but would never have shelled out my money for it. People have written knitting books inspired by historical costumes and patterns before with proper written instructions, there are even original historical patterns available. My tip is to use them: the colour photography might not be so beautiful, but at least you will be able to settle down and work the pattern. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Treasure *by M***I on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 March 2014* This is not your average book of knitting patterns.Originally published a number of years ago, it is also not just a new edition. The whole book and all the patterns have been revisited, revised and reviewed and the result is a beautiful, cloth-bound book worthy of any coffee table… and yet many of the patterns do not seem out of the realm of coming to life in the hands of a reasonably well-versed knitter (which I didn't expect - I thought it would all be so intricate I'd hardly dare even try a pattern, but not so!).It's eye-candy and practical all at the same time; each of the patterns has thought and point behind it, being inspired by women in Tudor history and imagined by two women (mother and daughter themselves) who have really considered who each was and what each garment pattern represents. It is eminently readable.I'm smitten. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great purchase *by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 July 2020* Love this book but you need to be an experienced knitter to follow the patterns. They are knit in 2 ply wool which is not easy to find in such rich colours. The author recommends buying them from a Hebridean company but they are not cheap. I have knit them in 4 ply wool but have then had to alter the size as 4ply knits up larger than 2 ply. Having said all that I am REALLY enjoying knitting these patterns. They are so unusual --- ## 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.co.za/products/283759414-tudor-roses](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/283759414-tudor-roses) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-06-18*
