    Not so easy to assemble

    This pattern is listed as easy, but I have been crocheting for 10+ years and the way the information was written is very confusing. Unless you've crocheted a bag before, the instructions are lacking significant information. First, it takes a bit of practice to get the flower motifs correct. But it gets more complicated when reading the description of joining them and the stitch to use is not clear and not easy to work. While there is a diagram of joining all the pieces, more diagrams would have been helpful because the description is confusing and sorely lacking. There were not enough pictures or diagrams indicating where, why and how the back loop is to be added. Also the top edging section is not clear with no further details or diagrams to indicate how to add it. Basically, unless you know your way around crocheting a bag, these directions are not very helpful and vague. While the end result was cute, the entire process was too involved and directions are not suited for an easy project.

    • We are sorry that this project was confusing for you. We will pass on the feedback to our design team regarding the rating of the pattern. Typically, Beginner patterns provide step by step instructions and should be able to be worked with little to no assistance. Easy patterns are a step up, removing the step by step instructions and adding a new skill. Not as difficult as Intermediate, but not as Easy as Beginner. You can also replace Easy with Advanced Beginner if that is easier for you. Again we thank you for your feedback.
