Such a fun pattern to do. Works up quickly and I’ve already made 3. Off to make more now.
Easy pattern to follow- the video follow along is perfect. So obsessed with how these are turning out I wish I had enough yarn to make one for EVERYONE!
This is a fun and super easy, quick project. I can’t wait to gift it to my baby sister!
Easy to follow instructions if you have the slightest understanding of mosaic crochet – maybe pretty easy even if you dont. The video was really helpful to have included. I did different handles only because I was curious to see how it would look.
Excellent pattern / instructions. Easy peasy, beautiful, and whips up quickly. I love it.
