  1. What a wonderful pattern! He is so precious! Noticed in the pattern that Rows 24 to 26 are missing for the BACK. Also Left Ear ... Row 2 ... make 1 sc in each dv???? Please advise. Would love to make this puppy.

  2. Thank you, Shebandowan for letting me know that I skipped a couple of lines. In those lines, you are supposed to sc with Cafe where you did so in the prev row and sc with Black where you did so with Black. I already filled that in. For the ear, you make 2 pieces in Cafe and 2 pieces in coffee and you sew them together, then sew them to Cookie. The first ear is explained, you just have to change color to do the next one. That part of the pattern was complete. Hope this helps.
    Hope you enjoy making him.

  4. It is easy Shebandowan, you see, you follow the instructions for 2 pieces of the same color, and then for two pieces of hte other color. You sew them together and you got each ear. Then you sew them to the head.

  9. Hi,

    Thank you for sharing this lovely pattern. I have a question regarding Row 4 of left ear.

    "Row 4 - 1 sc in each of next 2 sc, 1 sc in each sc to end."

    Do you want to say 2 scs in the first 2 sc then 1 sc in the remaining sc, OR simply 1 sc in each sc from the beginning to the end of row?

    Moreover, at the end of Row 4, do I need to chain 1 and turn?

    Thank you!

  10. Hi AmigurumiCat, I'm sorry I didn't see your comment before! I write my patterns even as I am making tham and write each row as they come out for me. So, I meant them as I wrote them, I don't know any other way or description for them because that is how they worked out for me. The ear starts wider and gradually narrows as you move up to the top. If you want to make it your way, by all means do it!
