Hi,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the cute pattern. I am getting ready for my daughter's Dr. Seuss birthday party. I am however stuck at step 20. I did what I thought was right, but the feet seem to go back to front, not side to side. Any additional clarification on this step would be so helpful.
First, I want to say that I'm so sorry that I'm late! I did send a reply to you (through Gmail) a little after you commented, but I'm not sure if you got it. So, I will have to send a reply now.
DeleteThere are two things you can do when you run into a problem like this. You can keep moving the original round over one st at a time until the feet are pointing the way they should. Or, if that doesn't work, you can F/O the round before you do the feet, and then make the feet separate from the legs. Then you sew the feet onto the legs pointing the way they should.
Sorry I didn't get this to you sooner. I hope your daughter's party went well despite my delay!
I love it!! Thanks for sharing the pattern.
