While this is a very cute pattern, I found the instructions incomplete and hard to follow. I have a great deal of experience in both knitting and crochet, and shouldn't have these issues. For example, the instruction to sew the side seams doesn't tell you how far up the seams go (to leave sleeve openings). Instructions for rows 1-8 say: "ch 1 (counts as 1 sc), 24 sc". Classically, however, the "ch 1" is NOT counted in the number of stitches, and I can't tell what the total number of stitches in a row should be: 24 or 25? I am having other issues as well, but you get the picture. Again, this is very cute AND free, which is wonderful, and I appreciate that. But, it would have helped to have someone help the designer to clarify and edit the instructions.
