This pattern is expertly written.
The designer was thoughtful in writing out the turtle pattern separately. Because she did that, I was able to put a stray turtle in the sand and water section. Much appreciated, Ms. Heather!

This yarn is really amazing. Very soft. Lovely to work with. Stitches are very pretty.

Manufacturer says hand wash, flat dry, but need easy care. Machine wash / tumble dry, gentle soap and gentle cycles washed up fine.
