Final Verdict:
Excellent pattern, perfectly written. Take heed to the tension suggestion the author notes (keep the CC yarn loose.) I personally don’t like that I used a heavier weight worsted---doesn’t have the same drape. There are no instructions provided for a pompom but there are tons of tutorials online.

My Notes:

12.31.13
I’m just guessing with the yarn, as it doesn’t have a label. I have other Bernat Berella that looks similar and was part of the same lot of vintage acrylics my Grandmother gave me many years ago.

Done. Photos soon.
