Beginner knitter who made predictable errors. Great pattern.
I blew it on the measurements and would advise anyone to buy more than what the original pattern suggests. I ended up buying twice as much yarn and wished I read the instructions better and made it wider. All in all though I really like the pattern. Next time I would use all cotton or wool, not acrylic. . That said, the color choices for the yarn suggested are beautiful. The yarn just was not as soft as I would prefer.
