DIFFICULTY LEVELS

 
  1. Basic: easy stitch patterns and simple color work, basic shaping and charts, 1 schematic, 1-4 pages.

  2. Intermediate: more involved stitch patterns, simple to moderate color work such as intarsia and medium level stranded work, up to 3 simple to intermediate charts or schematics, 4- 9 pages.

  3. Advanced: 10+ pages, more than 3 charts, advanced stitch patterns, Aran, mosaic, advanced lace and color work.

I am happy to review all patterns and provide estimates. Difficulty levels can be variable as a 9-size hat with a simple stitch pattern could turn out to be intermediate rather than advanced. Try me! I enjoy working with both new and experienced designers.
