Felicidades es una labor muy bien explicada gracias
What are the dimensions of the finished cat?
Was wondering the same thing
Super cute pattern! I’ve made it several times. The headband I chain until it fits where I want it to around the head and sew in place. The flowers I chain 5 in magic ring, hdc, dc, hdc in each stitch around and sew to headband. I love this pattern!
Kit, question round 4 – 2 single stitches and increase with 18 stitches prior gives a total of 36 stitches my 24. Did you find the same thing ?
Love this pattern….easy to follow and works up fast. I only had a problem trying to figure out the heart…could have used a bit of instructions. Thanks so much for sharing.
Same here not good with diagrams need written instructions for heart belly
Very cute pattern! Is there a standard symbol key that we can use to figure out the heart? My guess that the solid black circles are sc. the line with 2 hash marks are hdc and 3 hash marks is dc???? I checked many charts and these symbols are not standard on these charts. Oh well, I’ll wing it.
Thanks
you say a free pattern I have tried but to no avail
I can not figure out the heart
Lovely clear directions until the heart belly. Would have liked to have written directions. I had to do a lot of research until I found out what symbols were and then I wrote it out.
Could you write it out for us please.. Many thanks
