    This pattern was very well written and easy to understand. I used this pattern to make a sweater for my mom and it turned out quite lovely! The thick yarn also made it very quick to finish.

    I thoroughly enjoyed making this sweater. I misjudged how much yarn to buy (I'm a bustier/bigger lady) and instead of making long sleeves I altered the pattern into short sleeves and am so in love! Can't wait to try again - with extra yarn to try the full pattern.

    Loved this pattern! Really easy to follow, worked up super quickly, and thorough instructions. Cannot emphasize how helpful it is to have it written in the round - trying it on throughout the process was perfect for being able adjust as needed!

    I ended up adding another row before connecting under the armpit, and added more chain stitches between the front and back to connect under the armpits (to help accommodate with a bigger chest) and then reducing the sleeve back to the stitches recommended for my size overall. Worked super well - so very thankful for that, and saves time with not having to sew panels together.

    Loved it overall! Very happy with the purchase, and I will definitely make this pattern again.

    Beautiful pattern with clear instructions! I am new to reading crochet patterns, and while I did have some trouble on a few steps, I was able to figure things out relatively quickly. The seller was also very helpful in answering my questions with a very quick response over messages. I would definitely buy from this shop again!
