Customer reviews
the pattern is much more complicated than I anticipated, i needed help from an experienced crocheter to work it out. We could not progress from the written pattern alone and the graphs and photos proved invaluable. The lack of photos for joining the half motifs is problematic and we have not yet been able to work out how to add these motifs in but will continue to struggle. Future buyers would benefit from the addition of more detailed instructions and photos for joining the half motifs.
