It took me around 2 hours to get the hat part started. I was not understanding the instructions and had to keep looking up tutorial videos to try and get it. I "think" i got it and was able to work up the rest of the hat pretty quickly.

This pattern has a lot of abbreviations. Kind of frustrating to have to look up what she’s talking about with each row. Some are standard abb but some are just her way of writing the pattern. Although the hat is cute, I won’t use this pattern.

Thank you for the kind words about the design, although I must clarify a technical detail regarding the writing style. This pattern uses standard crochet abbreviations set forth by the Craft Yarn Council, which is the standard for professional patterns. We adhere to these industry standards to ensure universal clarity for all crocheters. A full Glossary is provided at the start of the document for easy reference.

Very clear instructions and the final product ended up being exactly as described. AI is ruining nearly everything so it’s nice to find a pattern that actually matches the description.
