Rated 5 out of 5 by from Cute crochet project I thoroughly enjoyed this crochet project and managed to complete it in the run up to Christmas. I used the yarn recommended for the pattern and it was great to be able to buy it as a bundle from Hobbycraft. The yarn has a lovely texture although I did find it had a tendency to split using a 3.5mm hook The patterns were clear and easy to follow - thank you Sarah-Jane for your lovely patterns and ideas.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lovely Christmas project Loved this project. Some bits were a little fiddly for me and my arthritic hands, but I managed to get through it. I bought the kit as recommended. Lovely yarn to work with, but I have 2 beige, 2 white and 1 red completely unused. Think maybe they've been a little generous with the estimates.
