Let customers speak for us
Love this yarn. Great for scarfs and afghans. I have bought in several colors for the last year or so.
Kit is fun to knit. The pattern is great, especially the large charts. Easy to follow and fast to knit. Just saw the movie so I'm eager to finish and wear.
As expected, very happy with the item
Wonderful pattern. Easy download and good clear instructions. The use of graphs for more or less the complete cardigan is genius. My wonderful sweater is coming along nicely. I'm not the quickest knitter but inspired after the film Project Hail Mary. So I have just changed the colour. I would have liked to buy the complete kit which I considered a very good price but unfortunately I live in the UK and the postage was going to be about $200. I don't know why. Its a shame.
Very soft so excited to start this project. Thank U MJ and Mary Maxim.
As described. Love it!
This is going to be nice. I like a throw without holes and im interested to open this up and see what the stitch is. Nice.
Great pattern. I did think that it was a little big.
The pattern is lovely and easy to do.
Easy to follow
Have been enjoying most of the yarn. Nice selection
Beautiful yarn! I'm loving all that I bought
I LOVE this yarn, it is almost silky! It's easy to work with, and beautiful, rich colors!
Nice and easy to use.
I just loved making these coasters for my nieces. They are pretty & work us quickly. I need more kits like this one to make & give as gifts.

I cheated a bit - used linked double crochet to get more contrast and used a different border. But the key was the filet crochet pattern and it is fabulous. Just a gorgeous result. I did need an extra skein of yarn but expected that due to the linked double crochet.
Easy to follow pattern, worked up quickly.
I loved the pattern and am making it for myself. My first time working from a graph although I'm a longtime crocheter -- a bit of trial and error before I got myself on the right track! I'm not in a rush to finish, so it's only about seven inches long so far. :)
Nice yarn. Instructions well written.
Nice yarn. Instructions well written.
I love this pattern so much, I've made 5 of them. The pattern was fine to understand. There was enough yar in 4 kits that I was able to make the 5th. I'm giving them as Christmas gifts.
Loved Deep Teal yarn color. Nice & soft. Quick & easy to work up; found graph easy to read having cross-stitched many years and crocheted several intarsia design afghans with graphs. Ran out of yarn half way through border.
I am about 1/3 the way done and once you get the hang of it I enjoy the pattern. I had to start over several times since this is only the second graph I have used to make an afghan.
The pattern is confusing because the graph doesn’t match the amount of stitches.
I really enjoyed learning a new skill! It took me a little to figure out how to do a graph design but once I did, it was easy to read and a wonderful outcome! The sides all came out even and so it squares up very nicely! I enjoyed this project and am so excited to give it as a gift for Christmas!
This was a easy pattern to follow and turned out nice. I did have to order another seen of yarn .
Beautiful kit can’t wait to get started once I’m finished my other projects. Quality yarns included for a very reasonable price.
Pattern is easy to read. The design is beautiful.
Nice pattern that's easy to read and goes together fast.
This was the first kit that I ordered from Mary Maxim. I just finished it and it really turned out beautiful. I did have to order a extra skein of yarn. I did meet gauge but I crochet very loose so I should have gone down a hook size. The only other suggestion I would like to make is that the chart for the pattern could be a little larger to make it easier to read and maybe a written pattern to go with the chart. I did enjoy making this afghan and will absolutely order more kits.
I found the directions confusing , I have 4 dc on one side and 5 on the other? Then things get uneven in the middle about row 19 from the bottom of the graph. Squares didn't line up correctly, throwing the pattern off. I was excited to do this project but after 4 times starting over I am frustrated.
This is one beautiful and meaningful project that I’ll be proud to display every Christmas.
The yarn is incredibly soft and very easy to work with. The pattern is gorgeous and extremely easy to follow. The price point was also amazingly great with an awesome sale and free shipping promo!
I have zero complaints and nothing but good to say about this purchase.
I would highly recommend!
Clear pattern instructions and love the throw’s Christmas theme;
Yarn is soft and great to work with
Online ordering is very convenient and appreciate the quick customer service for delivery of my order
Graph is completely wrong. Stitch counts do not come out correctly. Do you have anyone that can offer pattern assistance? Has anyone who made this have any advice?
Easy to follow chart.
Such a deep, rich red. I love it!!
Such a deep, rich red. I love it!!
I am enjoying crocheting this project. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow
Can’t wait to start such a blessed project. Yarn is beautiful, soft yet robust and the pattern is gorgeous. I love the simplicity of the design. Colours gave some appropriate choices.
When I bought it I didn't realize it was a graph pattern. I haven't done in one in the past nor did I ever care to. So now I'm stuck with a pattern I probably will not use and yarn I don't like using because it untwists and the hook splits through it. I'm very disappointed.
Love the afghan!
Great pattern
I'm enjoying completing this project.
I just started this project and I am confused with the instructions.
Does the dark square mean 2 dc's together forms 1 dark square?
I am not understanding how to follow the right and wrong side rows.
I do understand that when you are the wrong side, you follow the pattern in the opposite direction then when you are on the right side.
I thought I was doing well until I got to row 14 and got to the 2 dark squares in-between 6 and 8 white squares. In row 15 I couldn't make it look correct above those 2 dark squares from row 14.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
Really enjoyable and relaxing to sit and make.
Looks great but I have not started it yet
Easy pattern to follow.
This is the second time I've purchased this. I am making it for a friend who loved the first one I did.
