Great pattern, turned out so cute! Love the different textures. I messed up the gauge and accidentally made it too big, but oh well my baby will have to wear it next year!

Made a cute cardigan. Would definitely recommend counting stitches as I ended up unraveling the yoke four times. Also, use your stitch markers.

Super cute sweater and I love the way it looks on my son! I messed up on making the pockets even but oh well! It’s perfect otherwise! Though I do wish I left button holes as well but that was an option so my fault. I highly recommend this pattern and will purchase more from this creator!

This was a great pattern it worked up quickly and looked beautiful when finished. It was very easy to understand for a beginner. I loved it so much I asked the seller if they made the pattern in a bigger size. They dont sadly, but the seller responded so quickly and kindly to my inquiry. I will definitely be buying another pattern here in the future.

This is such a well written pattern! I’m headed to the finish line on my sweater, and it’s going smoothly. My sweater is about the same color as the one pictured. Maybe I’ll post a picture when it’s finished. Every pattern should written as well as this was. Thank you designer!

Lovely pattern. It is highly detailed in a way that is unlike most other patterns out there - but that is helpful! I struggled a bit with working out some of the instructions and I’m not sure my bobble stitch sections turned out quite right but overall very happy with this. Have purchased other great patterns from this seller and will do so again - they’re lovely and enjoyable to work on! Thank you :)

Not new to crochet, have done many complicated projects, have been crocheting for 13 years. This was a bust for me. I spent hours just trying to get the yoke right, I frogged rows 5-6 times, then the stitches on the arm weren’t right, once I saw the table I decided to not continue. I just didn’t understand overall how the pattern was written and found it to be overly complicated. Just not for me. Video wasn’t helpful for me either.
