WOW! I’m making this for christmas.
Hi loving this pattern. Are you able to help me understand the instruction with the legs when it says, crochet additional 14 sc or so, is this a chain or is it continuing on the round? I’m struggling to understand what this means, to get the correct position of the leg. Please can you help?
Make the second leg in the same way, but don’t fasten off the white yarn. Continue working on the body from the inner thigh of the second leg (add or loose some stitches if needed).
Hi, could you please guide on how to use alternate colours in rounds 28, 40 and 41 while crocheting the pull over?
