5 out of 5 starsA wonderful introduction into the top down sweater world. This pattern is very clear and I was very relieved to find out that yokes aren't as scary and terrible as I'd always assumed they would be. The fit is excellent. The herringbone dc was awkward at first but I got used to it and I love the way it looks. The ribbed cuffs were a little tricky for me so I just did alternating fpdc/bpdc for a few rows and I added holes for the thumbs. My favorite part is the cowl neck and the twisted cord. It looks so posh! I used little spider beads because I used this sweater as a base for my daughter's spider Halloween costume. You can check out the costume on my Insta @nineinspired

5 out of 5 starsThis whipped up in a day for me. I did add a trim on the edges as I like a clean finish. Simple to understand and a lot of counting lol. Make sure you count.

5 out of 5 starsI used Ever Soft 9 oz each chocolate and linen, 27 oz tan. I doubled the first and last rows (of tan) and added two rows of single crochet for border. Size using measurements given was twin length, queen width, but it was not true to size for me. Next time I will make it much larger. GREAT and easy pattern. Thank you!

5 out of 5 starsI bought this pattern a few months ago but just got around to making it. It is an excellent pattern and easy to follow! My scrub hat and stethoscope came out perfectly! I also think it would be easy to make it bigger for an older child.

5 out of 5 starsTurned out perfect. Glad I did a gauge as I had to up my hooks quiet a bunch. But the pattern was well written and easy to follow. Made a lovely gift .

A Katy and her Squid
KT and the Squid was born in November of 2009. I started my Etsy shop selling finished crochet hats. In November 2012 I discovered I LOVE designing and haven't looked back. In 2018 I added hand dyed yarns to the shop
My specialty is women's garments. My goal is to design flattering clothing that;s simple enough for the novice crocheter.
The name KT and the Squid came by accident. When my first daughter was born my husband nicknamed her Squid. Imagine a newborn baby...You get it. When I named my business in 2009 it was just me and the Squid at home so I found it fitting. I figured I'd change it later but it stuck. As time went on I realized it was perfect.
