Hi, what exactly is the number of yarn the bear is made of?
I think it’s 6.
Hi, I have tried to complete the head but it never turns out to be a round sphere when I get to row 19. It’s like half of the head is missing. Any suggestions as to how I am reading the pattern incorrectly?
Thanks!
Hi I’m having the same problem, did you ever figure it out?
Are you doing rows 9 thru 14 as 48 stitches each? That’s 6 rows of 48 before you start decreasing.
I’m not sure if you still are interested, but you do 6 rows of single crochet.All single crochets no increases or decreases
My bear turned out perfect
How much yarn did you use & what type, please & thank you!
The pattern calls for fasten off the head. Can you give me some direction as to what that means?
like tying off, cut the yarn with a bit of a tail and you can sew it in a bit or just stuff it in the head
How many stitches between the eyes please?
How do you finish off the ears and attract. My ears flip inwards and do not look the same
The muzzle seems off to me call increases are on one side. HELP!
when attaching the legs in roll 9, witch way do the legs face, the toes to the right or left /
