Crochet Kit - Baby Chevron Blanket

As the pattern is written, the sizing and yardage are way off. I crochet very loosely and the pattern was too small. You need to go up at least three crochet hook sizes and double the yarn

I'm sorry but the pattern is way off base. it says to use a f - hook and that is far off! it took me at least three times changing hooks and I wound up trying a I hook and it's still not right. the hook and the amount of stitches is all wrong. I didn't make the blanket as it was not right. whom ever designed this needs to try again.

I had a hard time downloading a legible pattern. Customer service did help but it shouldn't be that hard. The instructions were way off on the sizing and I restarted the afghan 3 times before getting the right hook and sizing.

While the yarn itself is very soft and feels good, once it's worked into the pattern stitches, its clunky and heavy. Maybe a larger hook for single crochet would maintain more softness. Haven't finished project, maybe as it "grows" it will feel better for a baby blanket. Also, next time I will increase the base row, the width of the blanket seems very small. Enjoying the project and looking forward to finishing it :)

I was disappointed that the crochet hook I ordered did not come with the kit. and the instructions were not easy they are very hard for me to follow i had to start over 5 times. as the counts never worked the way they were written. I finally had to make up my own chevron pattern and counts to make it look somewhat like the photo. mine is not turning out like the measurements suggest and i do not like the how it ends with points at each end i shall have to figure out how to fill them end so that i can block the blanket at the end. so not so happy with the kit. its becoming a nightmare to finish.
