I like it
Arm row 1 should be 6 sc in mr in order for row 2 to be 12 stitches. Row 3 should possibly be 18 stitches? They don’t add up the way the pattern is written.
18 stitches is too big for arms, it’s more likely on row 3 ……….sc 4 stitches ,inc = 15st
I believe the arms are 5, 10 and 15
Can’t wait to make this bunny. Thank you for the free pattern.
