I used a 40% off coupon for each skein. They were all under $3 each with tax. I used terracotta, black and white. Next time I will use a burnt orange color as I felt the terracotta was a bit dark. It worked up quickly and easily. I had to use a larger hook to get gauge, made this for a 10 year old and she loves. Great pattern as usual, easy to follow with fun results.
