About the pattern Difficulty & Techniques: Definitely an intermediate pattern due to the puff stitches, the front- and backpost dc and tr (US) and working with two colors in the same row. But hopefully good to follow for an advanced beginner with the pictures and charts. Pattern format & language: Written pattern with pictures and charts in English (US) and Dutch.
