Easy to understand Section 1. Can’t say I love the slip stitch in back loop only stitch, I should have used a G hook for that part, my slip stitches are a bit tight. That’s on me, not the designer.

I added two rows of col sh in section 2, to balance out the bright colors, didn’t want the pink of section 1 to be longer in depth at center than the blue in section 2.

Just started section 3, with “pickle juice” color.

I thoroughly enjoyed this pattern test. I only encountered a couple of minor errors that any experienced crocheter could figure out. And those were quickly corrected in the Testing Pool thread, and with subsequent versions. I admit that the back loop only slip stitches would be difficult to accomplish if a beginner had trouble with tight slip stitches. I managed it without going up a hook size, but that would be a good suggestion to list.

I especially enjoyed section 3, and that fun edging.

Overall I found the pattern well written, and easy to understand. My only suggestion would be for stitch counts per row, and multiples to shoot for in the case of lengthening etc. Knowing where you are heading helps the crocheters to visualize the end result.

Thanks again Keilah for such a fun pattern test and the challenge.
