    1. I’m glad this was a free pattern because the directions for finishing are incomplete. I’m an experienced crocheter so I can figure it out but I’m sure others are struggling. I made Leonardo last year and it was a much better written pattern.

  10. I've emailed for help. I'm having some trouble with the body. To be fair, I've never crocheted a body from the neck down. But, his neck doesn't seem to fit his head very well.

  11. I love this pattern and how expressive he can be (especially in the face) but I had some difficulty with him. The neck seemed too big for the head when I tried to sew the 2 together, and I had to rework the legs four times before I was semi-satisfied. I think it might help (in the future) if you added HOW you got the three toes stitched together, namely where you started, bc that could greatly effect the way the increases and decreases lay and the overall effect of foot and ankle. My first attempt began and ended on the side of the foot and so the pattern laid completely wrong and I had to experiment with stitch order to make the increases and decreases lay on top and bottom.

  13. Having trouble with the body portion of this pattern can anyone help? I see that it says for round 1 chain 40 but from there I don't see any instructions from how to go from a flat chain sc piece as opposed to crocheting in the round with say a magic ring. Can you please clarify how I make the body round?

    1. Hello Phelps, after chaining 40 you join with a slip stitch. And from this point on you will be working in the round. Hope this helps :)

  14. Question at the toes when the stitch count is 8 per toe then you join wouldn't that make 24 stitches to combine? I'm getting lost because it says 18 across

    1. I just did as many stitches as I needed then decreased back down to the 18 required.

    1. I have all the parts made but have not yet assembled. I'm going to guess it will be about 31cm tall. I used DK yarn with 3.5mm hook.

  19. Your supply list states you used a 2.5 mm hook and round 10 for the ears should be (sc x 3) x5 to total 25 right? I just want to make sure I'm doing it correctly. I absolutely love this pattern. Hes adorable. Thank you for sharing it.

  20. Splinter tweezers with 8x magnifying glass, rust and acid-resistant stainless steel, precision-cut gripping areas prevent slippage. great post to read

    ReplyDelete
  21. I’m confused, you have directions for the finger but I don’t see the arms anywhere...does the part for finger include the arms? Also at the end of the body directions you have the final stitch count listed at 50 but wouldn’t it only be 5 if you decrease from 20 to 10 then decrease from 10...10 to 50 would be increase ��

  28. My starting stitch moves each row when doing crochet in the round. In this case my top of nose mentioned in row 9 of the head is completely opposite of where the eyes are suppposed to be in row 15. Does any one else have this problem?

    ReplyDelete
  29. Would you be able to advise where on the body you attached the legs? My legs seem a bit long to attach them to the underside of the body, so I am thinking perhaps on the side is better?
