Tested this pattern for anastaciaknits.

I found the pattern easy to read and follow and easy to crochet. Slipstitch crochet is a little tricky for beginners since the tension/gauge can be difficult to maintain. I find that keeping it very loose like crocheting with air helps me. I’m usually not a fan of fringe, and I had a little problem with the stitch count in the 1st couple of rows, but finally was able to consistently find the 1st stitch after about the 3rd row.

One more note, I did 2 rows together of each color stripe.

Finished project:
24 rows = 4.5 inches
4.5 oz of yarn. That’s 1.125 oz of each color I used. Figures up to approximately .18 oz per row.
