Rated 1 out of 5 by from Confusing! The pattern is confusing and the stitching doesn't add up. Why does it start with only 70 chains? What about sizes for small, medium and large? I'd like to know if any skilled crocheters tried this and what they did to make it fit and also look like the photo.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not good! Number of stitches do not match what is listed or needed. I'm OK with adjusting for size when you can actually follow a pattern to begin with, but nothing works in this one

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Sizing absent I was pleased to see this opportunity;saddened that the misleading option was missing sizing, yarn requirements. Come on Joann! Keep customers by paying attention to detail!

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Confusing instructions I agree with the others about there not being any sizing information. The type of yarn however is listed so if you don't want to use that particular brand then you can substitute for an equivalent weight yarn. The instructions are very confusing and the number of stitches that are available per row do not match up with the number of stitches given in the instructions to work for that row. I spent several hours trying to get the stitch pattern to match the number of stitches I had to work with so that the design would match on both ends of the row. I basically had to rewrite most of the pattern.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Pattern incomplete For a featured pattern, I would like to know the sizes and quantities of yarn needed. Very cute, but w/o sizes, I cant make it. Also, the website states that this pattern is blocked from being printed. I need a printout.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Disappointed I agree with the stated problems with the instructions but more so, I am shocked that the design is front and center in the ad but they didn't take the time to "proof" anything. It sure would be nice if Joann's would acknowledge the error and correct it for those of us who really like the pattern.....just sayin'....
