Least Favorite Projects from the year of Victorian Patterns

It's time for the worst projects from 2024. Here are the eight projects that were given a score of 3.0 or below (out of 5.0).

Two projects had a score of 3.0; The Gentleperson's cap and Gentleman's mittens.

The cap was the first project I made for this year and it would have come in higher if there had been a photo. I ended up rewriting the pattern and making a second version in gray and white. It's not really a bad project just more confusing than most.

These mittens were a little weird but somehow got a decent score. It's mostly because I kind of enjoyed the odd directions and thumb placement.

Two patterns received a score of 2.75. The Harlequin Ball that I made out of worsted weight instead of fingering weight had a really interesting construction for a ball. The crochet button was more like a small motif than a button.

The Harold Bootie came in at 2.5. I liked the Point Muscovite Stitch but the rest of the bootie was a struggle partially because of the yarn I used with the star stitch.

The Crochet Medallion got a pretty low score but I ended up adjusting it enough that it got a ribbon at the county fair.

The last two patterns are the Wool Dahlia (1.5) and the unscored stitch pattern group from March. The Wool Dahlia had confusing directions which led to it's low score.

The Rice Stitch and the Beehive pattern turned out ok but I couldn't get the Lewis Point Stitch to look like their illustration.

That's the end of the year of Victorian patterns. Did you have a favorite?
I'll start 2025 with the year 1911 and hopefully get into the mid 1940s by the end of the year.
