This is a confident intermediate level and there will be help available from my incredible pattern testers and myself via my facebook group Auburncraft Crochet Design. Do note that while help is on hand, it is expected that you understand the basics of crochet as teaching simple stitches and techniques is not included. I do NOT offer video tutorials. The pattern comes in written format with some graphs and colour block graphs. See this link for how to use a colour block graph: https://auburncraftcrochetdesign.com/what-is-a-colour-blo....
Pictures are provided in the pattern. And any special stitches are explained.
