Difficulty Levels
These projects are suitable for beginner knitters and crocheters. Projects involve little or no shaping and seaming, no lace or color-work, and are generally straight-forward in construction and technique.
Patterns may include simple color-work, easy cables, some shaping and seaming, and more unique construction and technique.
Patterns may include more complicated lace patterns, color changes, and/or cables. These projects may also involve unconventional construction and techniques. Expert patterns tend to require more concentration and a well-lit crafting environment.
