  2. Hi, this is really cute! I started trying the pattern and I have 2 questions: For the head, row 13 accounts for 22 stitches, not 20. Is this a typo? Also, there appear to be 2 lumps on either side of the head--are these supposed to be where the eyes go? Are they chubby cheeks? I can't see any bumps in the images so I'm a bit confused by it.

    1. I have exactly this doubt in career 13 doing accounts to the contrary (8-4 + 6-4 = 30) the previous career should have 30 points and not 28. So I guess it should be (8-4 + 6 = 22) Please?

    3. My fix so the math would add up with previous and following round:
      Rnd13: Sc x 6, dec x 4, sc x 6, dec x 4 (20)

  9. Row 13 on the head is written correct. Another way to write it is: Sc 8,(sc 2 together)x 4, sc 6,(sc 2 together)x 4. Each (sc 2 together) becomes 1 sc, so : 8 + 4 + 6 + 4 =22
