This pattern was very clear, concise, well illustrated, and well written. Due to arthritis, I had to use a size larger crochet hook, and the results were still lovely! Using this pattern, I made a whole 'forest' of trees in green, white, and blue! It's very easy to adapt, and make all different sizes of them. I didn't stuff mine, and they kept their shape, and still look like the illustration! Great Pattern!
