I loved this pattern! It's so cute, and the directions were clear and fairly easy to follow. This was my first successful ami completion too! I worked on it over the course of about four days, and I had trouble learning how to crochet in the round which led to a few setbacks. June's other pages with tutorials on ami stitches and tips were super helpful throughout the process. I definitely recommend this pattern. I've already bought the bearded dragon pattern to try next.
