My first project was the strawberry and it turned out super cute, although I needed the help of an experience friend to do the green accent marks. But the rasberry was a HUGE disappointment. The results look NOTHING like the photo - very very misleading. Since I am a beginner, I took it to my yarn shop, but they followed the directions exactly and it looked just as bad as mine. It makes a hole and looks like you made a bad mistake. PLEASE contact the author and ask her to fix the instructions. I love the photo of the rasberry and want my product to look like that. Tx
I knitted the strawberry hat for my very first knitting project ever. Together with my bible, Vogue Knitting, it was easy and turned out GREAT! Even the experts at the yarn store were amazed. I'm hooked on knitting now!
I bought this pattern because I wanted to make a textured berry cap that really looked like a raspberry- I was disappointed... The picture on the pattern makes it look like it has a popcorn or bobble stitch that really punches out, but that is not the case. The texture is very subtle, and frankly just looks like a mistake was made while knitting. My local yarn shop has a knit display of this hat, and I wish I had gone there before ordering the pattern on-line so I could really see what the end result would be. Otherwise, the pattern is super easy and I like the roll cap look.
