Too cute! Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteVery cute. The only bit I have problems with is round 3. Following your pattern, round 3 makes 26 stitches, not 28. This obviously impacts on the rest of the pattern. Thanks for sharing. x
ReplyDeleteActually Round 3 should be 26 stitches since Round 4 is 24 and you have gotten rid of 2 stitches in Round 4. She just wrote 28 instead of 26 if I am right. Or am I wrong?
