This pattern has been tested by multiple people with different skill levels. It was tested with acrylic, cotton, velvet, and silky yarn and it worked up well across the board. It is beginner friendly.

I don’t have a yardage total, but when I made the beanie shown in the pattern, I had some yarn left over. One skein was enough to make the beanie and an oversized yarn pom.
