Reviews
I look forward to making this.
Excellent pattern with clear photos and easy to follow instructions.
Excellent pattern with great simple instructions and clear photos.
This was a great buy!
I found the pattern difficult to read, with a very fine font on a peach colored background. It literally hurts my eyes. I've started, frogged, and restarted this pattern multiple times and it isn't coming out in the way it looks in the photo. As an advanced crocheter, I'm disappointed in having paid $7 for this pattern.
Very clear pattern--easy to follow. Worked up fairly quickly & my son loves his balaclava!
The pattern stitches are much too decorative for a simple balaclava hat and the picture of the hat (neon green) on the model does not look like how the pattern turns out. It's not a pattern I would want to make more than once because it's more time consuming than I expected with the modified single crochet.
