    A pain in the wrist

    I started this pattern with the color sunset thinking it would be a beautiful fall blanket. In 4 rows I have nearly burned through an entire skein of jumbo. This is after doing a gauge test and working up a swatch, which did measure up correctly. These are American double trebles, so one row consumes nearly 100g of yarn, and not to mention but doing 4 yarn overs, pulling through two, and repeating 4 times for the 206 stitches is just a pain in the wrist. I absolutely do not recommend this pattern. It feels more like someone was merely trying to create an intermediate pattern without considering the crocheters. I've done great intermediate patterns that were exciting and challenging, without being painful or honestly...just plain work. This is a great....way to burn through yarn?

    • We’re sorry to hear this pattern is not your cup of tea. The dtr (American double trebles) stitches are only worked in the 5th row of the pattern and there are far fewer of those than other rows with different stitches. As far as the pain, we’re sorry to hear you have been in pain. When working any repetitive motions such as crochet, it is recommended to sit such that you can stitch ergonomically for the health of your body. Taking regular breaks to stretch your arms and wrists is a good habit to ensure you don’t injure yourself as well.

    Beautiful But Complicated

    This is a beautiful afghan, but a challenging pattern. It's super easy to upset stitch counts. The diagram would be more helpful if it weren't so visually small, and the steps/row are hard to track. A video would also be helpful. I'm using a Red Heart Ombre Anthracite.

    Incorrect written instructions

    The written instructions do not match the visual aid. The pattern does not come out correctly when written instructions are followed. This probably can be done by following the visual aid, but it seems like a hassle. I hope Yarnspirations fixes it, as it looks like a pretty pattern.

    • The pattern does work as written. Often makers do not realize that they should have 5 dc in next ch twice (one at the end of each repeat and one at the beginning of the repeat.) Missing this in the first row will have effects continuing through the pattern. The same error can happen in further rows. But if followed as written and as charted the pattern will look like the blanket as shown. If you need help with the pattern, feel free to email inquire@yarnspirations.com with specific questions. Please include the link to the pattern in your email.
