What crocheters are saying
Love the pattern 👌
I love this pattern and was hoping to make as a baby gift for my cousin’s newborn. I had lots of difficulty getting yhe rounds to lay flat and stopped working on it hoping to get a yarn in a lighter weight,
As a lefty I am founding the pattern very easy to follow and enjoying crocheting itgreat
Loved the pattern - I've made a bigger sized one & now I'm on to the second one.
I am enjoying working on this piece. When I get stressed, I just crochet a round - after catching my on it flies by simple repetition. I even bought another colored yarn to do the same pattern over but in different colors
