Clear, comprehensive instructions. I love the wide range of sizes and yarn weights. Super cute. I will be making a lot of these for charity.
This was my first crotchet project, I had practised with some stitches and a granny square or two but wanted something to make. This pattern was given me so much confidence, I used it in conjunction with the tutorial video, which was a great support, and am ready to go again, in a different colour. It will definitely be my go to for new arrivals.

Simple baby sweater. Works up fast. When I first wanted to purchase it was cheaper than the price a day later. Tired of the free pattern ads but PDF was 18 pages. Was it worth it???? I suppose since I will make 6 garments to donate to a shelter.
