Very easy pattern to follow
I love this pattern! It's super simple but looks great! I had a bit of issue at first as I'm not super familiar with the verbiage. The YouTube video is super detailed and helps make sure you can do the different steps correctly. The pattern helped make sure I got the correct amount of yarn for what I wanted to make.
I was surprised by how Beautiful the pattern is and can’t wait to make a blanket for my daughter!
I can’t wait to make it.
