  I knew I had to try this yarn from how mixed the reviews are.  It seems that either people really like it or absolutely hate it.  I didn't notice a lot of reviews that are in the middle of the road.

Not recommended

This yarn has so many negatives, I hardly know where to begin. First of all, it has a harsh hand-feel. Second, it's advertised as a fingering weight when in fact it's closer to sport (heavier even than baby). Third, it is inconsistently spun, resulting in thin areas. Fourth, it is impossible...let me repeat that, IMPOSSIBLE...to knit a pair of matching socks with it unless you are the luckiest person in the world. Even if you think you have the colour sequence matched up after stretching 25 feet of two parallel strands, you will find that the sequence is not maintained throughout the skein. I've knit six socks with it (barely enough in one skein for a single women's medium sock), and no two match. I do know what I'm talking about - I was an art-needlework consultant for many years, and have never had this issue with any other space-dyed yarn. And therein is actually the problem: this yarn is not space-dyed. It is blended in spinning. If you decide to buy this yarn anyway, don't make socks with it unless you don't care if they match.

  I could definitely feel that it has some wool in it when I was working with it.  It wasn't the softest to work with, but it was far from the scratchiest.  Some people may also have a higher sensitivity to wool than I do.

Colorful, affordable, durable

Patons Kroy Socks is a great sock yarn. Very plump and hard-wearing. I love the colors in the FX line and they are also super cool if you want a color-changing yarn for colorwork.

Pattern: Side To Side Ribbed Hat by Sally L.M.  - Color: Clover Colors - Hook: 3.75 mm

  When I was looking previously, I thought most skeins looked a lot alike withing their colorways, but when I went to buy the color Clover Colors, I ran into the problem that Birder was having.  There was one skein that was really brown leaning, one that didn't have green but had a teal instead, and the others were only vaguely similar.  I picked two that were the closest.  It turns out they were more similar than I thought, they just started at different points in the color changes.  I could see this being very inconvenient if you want to have socks that match almost exactly and need most of the skein to make them with.  You can see how on my hats, the one on the left has the big brown section on the front while the one on the right ended up with it on the back.

  If someone wants to make socks, they have to be willing to have the socks look like cousins, not sisters.  I liked working with the yarn, even though the bit of wool sometimes made it feel a bit rough.  The yarn has the problem of having thicker and thinner spots, but that didn't affect my finished hats.  I like it and would use it again.

  I had seen these hooks on AliExpress and Amazon.  I was curious about them but knew I didn't really need any more crochet hooks.  Cheryl at knitting had ordered them and didn't like them at all.  She said that maybe they were designed for someone who held their hook in a pencil grip while she uses a knife grip.  I hold mine the same way, but took this opportunity to try them out.

  It took a bit for me to get used to using them.  The metal part of the hook is a lot shorter than I'm used to working with.  One of the sizes had a rough spot on the throat of the hook, but it wasn't too bad.

its not a soft handle, its hard plastic. and for me the hand position is not right. so i can not use them. to bad because i love the design.

~ m***n (one year ago) 4/5 stars

Left is my usual hook & right is the "retro" hook

  Once I got the hang of using them I like them well enough.  They aren't great hooks and won't replace my usual Boye hooks for most projects.  The only place they list the size is printed into the handle, which would rub off eventually if used a lot or carried around where they could rub against other items.  They are a lot of fun to look at and I won't be getting rid of them any time soon.

They are more pastel in person than they are showing up in the picture

  Right before posting this I noticed that mine are in a different color order than the pictures I found on the listings, which aren't even consistent with each other.  It's interesting that nothing between the different listings is consistent for every set.

  I have been using this yarn for a while.  It's what I used when I made my Orange You Glad baby hat pattern.  I don't know if it counts as cheating for this project if I already know how I feel about a yarn I'm going to test.

The best yarn ever!

Love this yarn. Glides on my crochet hook beautifully when crocheting. Never had a problem with it. Colors are fantastic. Will be sorry to see it discontinued.

~ Cookietins (about 4 months ago) 5/5 stars

Pattern: Lucky Bamboo Hat - Color: Dusty Purple - Needle: US 8

  So many of these reviews talk about the yarn being discontinued.  I don't know where they heard that information from.  So far, many months after these reviews have been left, I can still easily find it in stores.  I'm wondering if they had planned on discontinuing it and then sales went back up and so they changed their minds?

I love this yarn but it can be tricky

This is a great yarn but people who are not used to crocheting or knitting for very long are fussy about it. I’ve made several Afghans and particularly one pattern that really looks beautiful with this yarn and it washes up beautifully if you do it the right way. I have been knitting and crocheting since I’m seven years old and so that’s nearly 60 years now. I know what I’m talking about I’ve heard that they’re going to discontinue this yarn and I’m not pleased.

Pattern: Side To Side Ribbed Hat by Sally L.M. - Color: Rust - Hook: 5.5mm

  The Dusty Purple was an older skein and the Rust I got recently.  I noticed that I had more problems with the yarn wanting to split with the newer skein.  It's either that or I was crocheting more tightly than I usually do and that was what was causing the splitting problem.

rough. feels like plastic.

i bought a bunch of these because the price seemed decent and i really like some of the colors. the skeins are smaller and contain less yarn than i was expecting, which is a little disappointing. i've been using them to crochet a blanket/throw and it's fine for that purpose but the texture is pretty poor. it feels very rough and plasticy. i wouldn't use this to make clothing, but for a throw, they're ok.

~ DoloresP (about 11 months ago) 2/5 stars  

  I still like it overall.  I am working with the newer yarn for a knitting project and haven't had any problems with it trying to split.  In the past I never crocheted with it, so that might be why I never had a problem before.  It's not the best affordable acrylic out there, but if they had a color I wanted to use I wouldn't hesitate to go for it.

  I probably won't be making 40 of them, but if the two of them love this pattern that much, then I think it's worth trying at least once.

I’ve knitted several hats for my husband. He works outside or an unheated shop in Ohio in the winter. This is the BEST EVER pattern!! He can turn it up or pull it down over his ears and it is snugly warm. The pattern is easy to follow and is delightful to knit!! Thanks SO MUCH!!

~ dmgoss55 (over 4 years ago)

  I was going to mention that I don't like it when patterns only have one size, but other people have successfully added another pattern repeat to make it a larger size.  I imagine that someone could also take off one repeat and make it a smaller size as well.

I LOVE this pattern! It is so well written! I am quite proud of the hat I finished, it was my first time knitting cables in the round. And I do believe that the well written pattern did all of the work! I am super excited to give this as a gift and I’ll post pictures once completed. Thank you for sharing this for free.

Yarn: Berella So Soft in Dark Rose - Needle: US 8

  The four inches of ribbing for the brim really got me.  I wouldn't make it quite so long if I make it again.  Two inches would be the max I would work before getting into the cables.

  I am just being nitpicky at this point, but I feel like the last two rows of decreases would look more cohesive if we worked ask as the decrease as opposed to the k2tog.  The decreases would lean the same way the cables did in the rest of the hat.  I also added an additional decrease row, but that is also more personal preference than anything about the pattern.

  Overall, I think this is a really fun pattern and works up pretty quickly.  I can see myself making it again.

  I am taking a slight variance with this challenge and picking out a specific color of yarn.  At one point this colorway was so popular that whenever anyone saw it, they cleaned the shelf of it.  Most of the people I saw doing this were the ones making the double thick knitting machine hats, but I decided to try it out for myself.

 

Pattern: Side To Side Ribbed Hat by Sally L.M. - Hook: 5.5 mm

Good grief, why is this so popular?

This yarn is wildly popular on Tik Tok so I decided to give it a try. I've never used Super Saver, but I enjoy a good acrylic yarn. This is weird, like spun plastic. There are 100% acrylic yarns that don't feel like this does. I really wanted it to work on my circular knitting machine, but it seems to be impossible. I make a lot of hats on my knitting machine, but I cannot get this to work without slipped stitches. So disappointing. At least it was on sale so I don't feel too bad about donating to someone who might like it.

Angela (7 months ago) 1/5 stars

  I had seen it in stores a few times and thought the colors looked alright, but nothing amazing.  I had even considered buying the four skeins I saw on the shelf to try and resell online.  Though knowing my luck, the craze would have died right before I got them listed.

Pattern: Lucky Bamboo Hat - Needles: US 8

not so good

Some of this yarn is nice and some is rough and not well colored. I wish the ppl who filled these orders would take notice of dye lots. And there seems to be a big difference on quality depending where the fiber is spun. Those lots made in India are nicely colored and soft, those spun in Turkey are a weird tone and rough and almost feel like you could get a splinter from them. I had to re-order several times just to get the same consistency in the skeins to finish a project.

Kind of disappointing. Beware of ordering Aran I ordered Aran and received a dye lot that originally said Soft White and had an Aran sticker over it. It was not Aran.

~ 55 years of crochet (a month ago) 2/5 stars

  The colors you see in pictures and seeing it wrapped in the skein don't do it justice.  I can see why people like it so much.  All of the colors flow smoothly into each other, except for the cool pink, that one is a rather abrupt change.  Though I do think I prefer it in the crochet hat versus the knit.  I don't think I'm going to go crazy over it and buy 34 skeins for my stash, but I might consider buying it again.  Like Angela said, it feels nice for a Red Heart Super Saver, which means that while there are nicer acrylic yarns out there, I don't want to use this to get dried food off of my dishes.  It is also very interesting what 55 Years of Crochet noticed about manufacturing location.  I will have to check the ones I have and see if I notice a difference.

  I saw Bag-O-Day Crochet talking about this yarn on her YouTube channel and while at Walmart for something else, decided to pick up a skein.  It is in the running for the Rainbow Hat Project, so I wanted to try it out.  I don't know why I keep picking yarn with turquoise/teal in it, since it is so hard to photograph.

Way better than Red Heart!!!!

This yarn is way better than Red Heart! This yarn is soft when working. This yarn DOES NOT SPLIT like Red heart does. I absolutely love this yarn and brand! It is a great yarn to begin with. I will be ordering boxes, at least three closed boxes so my son (first project ever!) can make his ginormous Afghan without the thought of “are they still going to make this yarn so I can finish?” Anyone as a true crocheter and knitter knows this pain and scare! If you haven't tried the yarn out, do it! Spend that $2.4?! I'm so glad that I did! It also had great color change too! Perfect for a C2C blanket!

Pattern: Side To Side Ribbed Hat by Sally L.M. - Hook: 5.5 mm

  I had assumed it would be about old Red Heart Super Saver level of acrylic scratchiness because it is cheaper than Super Saver.  I was very wrong though and it is so soft and nice to work with.  I do wish it came in more colors though.  However, it does come in enough solid colors right now to work for the Rainbow Hat Project.

Buy it!!

Perfect yarn -- I love it!! I crochet a lot -- make blankets to donate to children's groups and this yarn is perfect for that. Great quality and great price -- so much better than Red Heart. I've yet to find a skein of this yarn with pieces knotted together, which is a real nuisance -- it pulls easily from the center of the skein. The solid blue and teal yarns coordinate perfectly with the multi blues. I would definitely recommend this yarn.

  I'm really glad that I found Bag-O-Day Crochet and watched her video on this yarn because I know I would never have given it a chance any other way.  I saw on Ravelry that the yarn is discontinued, but I also read somewhere that they had discontinued it in the past and have since brought it back.  Unless something happens between now and when I go to start making rainbow hats, I think this is going to be the yarn I am going to use.

  I signed up to do some knitting/crochet for St. Jude to help earn some money, so I decided to try one of the highly rated patterns this time.  This one looked fun so I decided to give it a try.

  One thing that did confuse me for a bit was the chart for the ribbing pattern. The numbers for what stitch you are doing are the same size as the K and P above it. I thought they meant that the number was how many stitches you were supposed to do. When I read through the stitches written out, I figured out what they actually meant.

Thanks very much. A dear friend of mine will be going through chemo and radiation and I was looking for a nice hat to knit for her. Take care and I wish you all the best.

~ LuvYarn5 (3 years ago)

Yarn: Caron Simply Soft in Autumn Red 9924 - Needle: US 6

  I did find some problems with the pattern in the decrease rows.  If you are an intermediate to advanced knitter you might not even notice them, but it might be a problem for someone who is a beginner and is trying to follow the pattern exactly as written.  Here are what I have found:

• On row 2 she tells you to "Knit one row in pattern, which will be p2 *k5, p4* p2" which makes it seem like you would end the row with 6 purl stitches.  It should read as "p2 *k5, p4* k5, p2".  It could also be written as *p2, k5, p2* and get the same results.

• Row 4 has the same problem.  It reads as "Knit one row in pattern, which will be p1 *k5, p3* p2" but it should be "p1 *k5, p3* k5, p2".

• The repeat asterisk should be between the first p1 and the second k5 for row 6 of the crown.  The way it is now would lead you to believe that there are some sections with two purl stitches next to each other.  The second set of k5, p1 could also just be taken off.

From a survivor - good for you to make that free design!

Best wishes to all using your hats and going through chemo. Always a challenging time, but really worth the battle. ❤️

Yarn: Caron Simply Soft in Autumn Kiss Ombre 2708 dye lot 27366 115 - Needles: US 8

  It is a very nice and easy pattern to read for the most part.  I like how simple the repeat is while also having enough of an interest so that I wanted to keep going.  I also appreciate when someone works the pattern into the crown decreases.  It seems that she doesn't check the comments on her pattern because someone posted that there was a stitch count error on row 8, but it doesn't seem to be fixed on the pattern.  Though to be fair I also don't check the comments on my patterns as often as I probably should.  Since there are so many errors in the pattern, I wouldn't call it the best.  Though because a lot of the rest of the pattern is well written I wouldn't call it the worst either.  Whichever you want to call it, I enjoyed making it.

  I hadn't thought of what colors to get before I got to the store, so I just picked out whatever spoke to me when I got there.  Since I didn't double check the reviews, I picked out a variegated, but I possibly should have picked out a solid.  I could always revisit this yarn later.

I made two intricate projects with this yarn, both of which called for bulky weight #5 yarn. Besides being a splitting, tangled mess, this stuff is really light or worsted weight with a fluffy halo. Both the sweater and the blanket I made with this shrunk down to their real size (#3, #4 if I'm being generous) after the first wash, leaving me with stringy, scratchy messes. Avoid at all costs.

~ Steph (10 months ago) 1/5 stars

Pattern: Lucky Bamboo Hat - Needles: US 8

  I don't know how intricate Steph's project was, but I wanted to make my Lucky Bamboo Hat because it has some cables throughout.  I took measurements from the project before and after I washed it and it relaxed a little and the ribbing got a bit larger, but overall didn't really change.  I didn't have any problems with it splitting, even on the cable stitches.

vv nice yarn, would recommend

got this for a sweater project and the violet is LITERALLY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SHADE OF PURPLE I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. PICTURES DO NOT DO IT JUSTICE.

Pattern: Side To Side Ribbed Hat by Sally L.M. - Hook: 5 mm

  I wanted to make both a knit and a crochet project with this yarn.  These sideway crochet hats have been everywhere on my social media feeds, so I had to try it.  I liked this pattern the best because it used short rows and therefore the top isn't as bulky as most.  The pattern is pretty easy and even though I had to undo some, the yarn behaved for the most part when doing it.  If you try and go too quickly the halo can get tangled and cause problems, but if you do it slowly and make sure each stitch is fully out then there shouldn't be any problems.

Definitely NOT a bulky yarn!

I’m disappointed with this yarn. It is not a bulky 5, it’s more of a thin 4. Or 3. It you want bulky yarn don’t buy this.

I love the yarn, it’s the mislabeling of weight that is deceptive. Don’t buy Big Twist unless I’m person so you can see the product.

I’m unable to do so due to health issues and rely solely on internet descriptions. Most unhappy.

I’d rate it a 5 start if .abeled correctly.

~ Goatlady (2 years ago) 1/5 stars

  I agree that this is definitely not a bulky yarn.  I don't know if they included the halo when deciding the weight of this yarn or not.  Some of the sections of yarn are thicker than others, but none reached a bulky thickness, and the variation wasn't too bad.  It's a very soft yarn and once I got used to the halo it was easy to work with, which is really good that I like it since the skeins are so big.

Lattice Beret: Is It The Worst?

Lattice Beret 

Overall rating of 1.3/5 from 3 votes
Cost: Free

  I tried to get as much information as I could about this pattern, since it is very barebones.  I checked the posts on her old blog, Lunchbox of Awesome and her current blog, The Knit Guru, along with comparing it to the Ravelry Project Page.

  She says she used size 5mm and 7mm needles, that is an US size 8 and a bit bigger than a US size 10.5.  Her project page on Ravelry she says she used DK weight yarn, but on her blog post she says she uses a chenille yarn with some sparkle.  I have never seen a chenille yarn that is thin enough to be a DK, most are Aran or thicker.

Hi I just finished this and ended up with a beanie instead of a beret. I read the instructions to say do the repeated rows over the next 12 rows instead of 12 times so I only ended up with 1/2 as many rows as I should have. Its a cute beanie, a quick knit and I’m going to do it again but not tonight. LOL

~ sallyknits101 (over 9 years)

  From looking at the picture, I do believe that the original hat is done with the 12 rows of the lace repeat before the decrease.  I tried to see if she put anything about gauge or the actual yarn she used.  I couldn't find that anywhere, just that "loose gauge is best" for this project.  The hat is worked flat and then seamed up.  She says to sew the two sides, but I think she means to sew the two sides together and not that you will have two seams.

Frogged and restarted on 29/04.

I’m mystified by this, I followed the (admittedly not great) pattern to the letter, and the hat turned out child sized… Either I horrendously misread the pattern, or the pattern is horrendous.

Anyway, I am a disappointed as I really like the yarn, and loved the look of the hat in the picture accompanying the pattern.

As I can’t wear it, and I don’t know any kids, I’ll donate it, with my other items, to KAS.

~ BeaniePad (5 years)

  When I did my test knit, done flat with some DK yarn, my hat was going to be 17" at the brim and only 4" tall.  I then reknit it and when I used a thicker yarn I ended up with it being 23" at the brim and 6.5" tall, which I think matches the picture more closely, but not quite.

Yarn: Red Heart Hometown USA in Chicago Charcoal - Needles: US 10 and US 13

  I am a tight knitter, and The Knit Guru might be a loose knitter.  I really wish she had put any kind of numbers having to do with the dimensions of the finished item so I wouldn't have to keep guessing based on the picture.  I think I went too bulky with the yarn on this one.

Yarn: Red Heart With Love in White held double - Needles: US 10 and US 13

  I stayed with the new needle sizes, but went with a bulky weight instead of a super bulky.  It was a bit closer but I still wasn't able to get the size difference between the ribbing and the body of the beret like she was able to.  My yarn-overs seem to want to pull in on themselves while hers stay very open.  I might have had to go up another size, but that would have then put me way past the 2mm difference in needle size she had.

  Overall, I don't think this is written out very well to be a pattern to used by other people.  It would be great as a reminder to her as to what she did if she wanted to make the hat again.  There aren't too many things she would need to change to make it into something anyone could use.  She just needs to add what yarn she uses so people have an idea of what weight the yarn really is and could possibly get recommendations on Ravelry, also add what gauge we are aiming for on the brim and the body of the hat.  A few finished dimensions of the hat wouldn't hurt either.

New Year, New Challenge

Pattern: Antler Toque by Tin Can Knits - Yarn: Red Heart Eco-Ways in 3372 Petal - Needle: US size 8

  A while ago there was a trend going on around the internet where people were going to the lowest rated place in their area for various themes.  They were getting their nails, hair, or makeup done at the lowest rated salon.   It was then expanded to compare the lowest and highest rated locations.  Then people were buying things from the best and worst locations, so they could be buying cakes from the highest and lowest rated bakeries and comparing the results.  This got me thinking about how I could do this as well.

  I thought it would be really fun to try it with yarn and patterns.  There are some rules I made to go along with this project/challenge.  The yarn or pattern has to have a few bad reviews, not just one, and it has to be something I can get ahold of fairly easily.  While it would be fun to see how I feel about the Tangled Poets Advent Calendar 2019 from Aberdeen's Wool Co, I feel like it would not be easy for me to find.  I also really like the ones with the really scathing reviews, like this one:

Sloppy written pattern:

* No legend for abbreviations (neither written pattern nor chart)
* only a few measures

* inaccurate pattern

After the 5th row of chart and the second bug I found, I frogged my project.

It’s impudently to take money for this!

~ Vorlesetante (10 years ago) 1/5 stars

  I'm going to be posting the reviews I find while making some of my own.  However, I'm not doing this to shame the designers or yarn brands.  I'm curious if these patterns really are as bad as people think they are, or are they just written in a way that isn't compatible with the person trying it.  Any dates I have on here will be accurate to the time of posting.

  On Ravelry you can rate things without giving a review, so something might have a low or high rating, but no reason to go along with that rating.  This means that I have had to expand my search areas.  One of the yarns that fit the requirements only had such a bad rating because it was listed online as a three pack, but people only received one skein when they ordered it.  There was nothing about the quality of the yarn at all in any of those reviews and when I looked into it further, the single skein listings had pretty high reviews.

  Another problem I've run into with the yarn is how wildly varying the reviews will be sometimes.  The following reviews are both for Caron Simply Soft which has an overall 4.6/5 rating from 1604 votes:

This is the absolute worst yarn I have ever used. Not only does the yarn split with great ease, but in every skein I must cut out inches and inches of poor quality yarn half a dozen or more times per skein. There are entire sections that are just fuzz or the yarn is thinned out and appears to be a lighter weight. Unacceptable. Truth is, the gorgeous colors and sheen will draw you in and tempt you, but don’t let it. Buy something else.
