It's made in 2010, but most of these look like from the 1980's. I don't know how to read patterns, and there is a section in the back that is supposed to help with that. There are only a few of these that I think could be worn now.
It's a great book that is nicely done. Most of the designs are wearable for an older crowd but there are at least 5 designs that also work for younger people which makes this a well rounded book. The instructions are good and straightforward. Currently in the middle of one of the designs and so far haven't found any flaws.
