Love this yarn! So soft. Very easy to work with.
I am a complete newbie. Never knew how to knit but I practiced and learnt all the required techniques before I worked with my actual yarn. The multi coloured intarsia is quite hard for beginners so I would recommend using only 2 colours for intarsia and duplicate stitch the remaining colours and details. Completed the prohject in 1.5 months and while it definitely doesn't look as good as an experienced knitter since I've made a lot of mistakes on the intarsia parts, I am very proud of my cardigan :> Amaze amaze amaze!
I love this yarn! I make baby blankets to donate to local places. The yarn is soft, doesn't split, and has a great colo selection. AND its machine wash and dry!
Great pattern. I have the locomotive sweater that my Mother knit for my Dan in the 70's
Great yarn!
Beautiful yarn. Made a shawl with it come out wonderful.
Perfect match for the color i needed
Multicolor is fabulous. True #2 and soft.
Love the pattern found it easy to follow. Thank you. Would like one of a tiger. Or eagle.
Came sooner than expected, fit over my glasses and work great!
I was very happy with my yarn! I ordered 12 , I got 9 of 1 color and 3 of another color. Plenty of each to make lots of items. I received the cones which I was really happy about . I got a nice mixture of the small skeins that came with each one. This should last me a long time but I would definitely order again. What a great value!
Am going to use the ideas for a bunch of 5th graders. Thanks
The Vintage Wallpaper Throw is an easy and fun project! I loved crocheting this throw and took it everywhere. People would come up to me and ask me about it and want to touch the yarn which is very soft. Of course I had to excitedly tell them all about Bag O Day and her easy tutorials! She does have a tutorial of this throw which I used a couple times for the border. I have never put a border on a blanket before. I love how quick and easy the half double crochet stitch is, it’s also my favorite stitch so far. This kit or the finished project would make a great gift! I will buy this again in other colors.
I just downloaded this pattern. I can't wait to get started. One question...How many ounces or yards are in a ball? I've never heard of this before.
Just wrote a review about Bug Twist twinkle yarn. Used the word sparkle in reference instead of Twinkle. So sorry,but it definitely is “sparkly”👍

it's a big kid's bed cover, it's lovely and easy to follow.
Beautiful, easy to follow instructions. I added an extra detailed border to mine.
Loved this blanket, but the quality of the yarn left a lot to be desired. Yarn kept splitting.
Hi Brenda, thank you for your feedback. If there is anything we can help you with please contact customer service at 800-962-9504 or by email at info@marymaxim.com
Yarn is great to work with. The pattern is easy to read.
Easy to read pattern very happy with my purchase.
I'm fairly experienced with crochet and I've found this blanket quite difficult. The substitute wool did not quite match the tension of the rest of the product. If this hadn't been a Christmas gift I would have preferred to wait for the recommended wool to be back in stock.
I have made this blanket before. So this is my second one. Its a fun pattern and is adorable.
The Graph is nice and big which makes it easy to follow
Thanks:grin:
Beautiful & easy, but you must follow all directions. I enjoy working on this, but do recommend working at a table with all your yarn bobbins. This is not one to do in front of the tv.
It turned out beautiful! Was very appreciated by the recipient.
I love the way this blanket turned out and so did the niece I made it for! The instructions were very good, easy to follow.
This was my first crotchet project with the pattern and multiple colours...I have done only 2 shawls in the past to learn to crochet. I was little bit scared when I started the project but it was relatively easy to make. I did end up enlarging the pattern to see better....it turned out very nice. Still need to finish the border :-) and I am buying another kit for sure. It makes a perfect gift.
This blanket was fun to make and is absolutely adorable!
I’m about 3/4 of the way through this. I’ve enjoyed so much. There’ll be lots of sewing in at the end. This is a nice project to start on for Someone that would like more of a challenge. And the there are lots of people that like the neutral tone. Live this project :heart:️
I am an avid graph crochet Er so they all appear pretty simple to me. But for those not used to these, there is NO row by row directions. You follow rows on chart and each box is a stitch. Once you get the hang of working with bobbins, your hooked. 90% of my work is graphghan blankets now.
Love the pattern. Am a third of the way completed. Easy to follow pattern.
I’m 20 rows in. And thoroughly enjoying this project.
The instructions are clear and the results are cheerful
I think the directions should be better from the beginning on how to handle all of the color changes. I have become frustrated many times and have now stopped the project.
It is a beautiful blanket and I am making it for my daughter who is expecting a boy in June.
This is the first time I have crocheted a design on a blanket using this method. The instructions were easy to follow. The pattern uses mostly a single crochet stitch, with some double crochet for the edging. The instructions tell you how to change colors from both the right and wrong side. There is minimal carrying of colors (tapestry crochet) as the instructions tell you to use a new ball or bobbin if the same color picks up in a new area later on in the row you are working on. It took me a couple of weeks to complete my blanket. I was very happy with the result.
I purchased this before Black Friday or cyber Monday. I called to see if they would honor the sale, and was told they would call me back. I would have re-ordered and returned what I had but was given assurance I would get a call back. I didn’t. I called again, same thing. It was about $17+ difference in price. No call back. So they don’t care about repeat business or what their word stands for. If it wasn’t a gift I would have returned it and never ordered again. Good luck.

I actually made this in the Tunisian stitch and LOVED how it turned out. Will be making it again soon for another baby shower gift!
have not started this blanket yet, it will be a good winter project.
Excellent graph and yarn kit. Not suggested for any crocheted who doesn’t know how to do graph work. No written directions but mine came out awesome!
