I went by the free version, and am very tempted to get a PDF. Ads and structure of the post made it very “busy” to me, and I already have problems with attention and concentration.

Picots are one of my most disliked stitches, and I was grateful to see that there was an option to omit them, but doing so, I somehow missed an important instruction and now my hat looks like a white pinecone instead of diamonds. I intend to make another one, so I will know what to look out for next time.

The pattern is fine, it’s just me who was struggling, I think.
