It's the first time I've worked with this pattern. Each row is a single crochet followed by a double crochet all the way across. Makes for no tiny holes.

The red is going to look awesome w/ her blonde hair.

I love the crochet pattern, and the vibrant. You are a gifted crafter, good work.

I was terrified that I was going to make mistakes sewing the front and back together and end up w/ a puckered mess.

Are those bubble stitches?
