5 out of 5 starsStill working on it, but this pattern has been super fun. Check out the linked video for the loop stitch (a new and very fun stitch to try out!).

5 out of 5 starsSuper good!! I am basically a beginner-intermediate. I've done like 4 Thewoobles kits to learn how to crochet and used the youtube videos to do this pattern. Super helpful instructions and pictures to make things clear. Only thing is the pattern says "put 2 scs in the next stitch," instead of a inc. stitch, so I had to do a double take a few times, but otherwise very easy to follow. Creator is also very helpful and willing to answer any questions :-)

4 out of 5 starsNeed very thin yarn and a tiny hook. I’m a beginner, so this wasn’t the best for me. I’m sure someone with more experience would not have any problems.

Hi, sorry to hear you didnt find the pattern right for your skill level. Hopefully this was not a total surprise as the yarn size is listed in the description for the item. I hope you give it another try when you have a bit more experience :-)

Thank you for your kind words Amy ☺️ I really try to take the time to explain things as much as I can as we all process information in a different way. Drop me a message if you need any support with the pattern.

My grandmother taught me how to knit but I have since graduated to crochet. I started creating patterns about a year ago to decorate my home. Since then, I've been hooked! I hope you will love the patterns as much as I do.
