thank you.
You’re welcome Irina, I’m glad you liked it. Kerri.
Thank you for this pattern. I was wondering if you have a rocking horse pattern.
Hello Yvette, I haven’t designed a rocking horse yet. It is one of the many things on my list. Kerri
Ok, I can’t wait. Your designs are awesome!!! Thank you.
Hello Yvette, I’ve finished Rocking horse pattern which you can view at https://www.kerriscrochet.com/crochet-rocking-horse-pattern/
How big is the bassett hound when finished?
Hello Rosalind. It’s 13cm x 10cm or 5″ x 4″.
Hello Kerri, i find that the circle for the head curls i . What am i doing wrong?
Hello Rosalind. If it isn’t curling too much I would try to iron it flat. If it’s curling a lot you maybe crocheting tighter as you go out. It’s a bit hard to tell what the problem is without seeing it. Kerri.
