Do you stuff the tail or not as it doesn’t mention about stuffing the tail
This pattern is so user friendly my 14 year old daughter who started crocheting a month ago can do it, we are so I love with your website thank you
Why can’t I print this without paying the pdf file fee? It says it’s a free pattern.
What does it mean by 6 sc in majic ring?
Hi 🙂 You can use online versions of the patterns for free on our website and mobile app. PDF version itself is not free. Because it takes a lot of time to prepare the patterns. So, in spite of this fact all people who can’t pay for PDF patterns can view them on the website and make wonderful toys. Hope for your understanding 🙂
Regarding the magic ring, you can find the info on this page >> https://amigurumi.today/basic-crochet-stitches-tutorial/
Thanks for the pattern, do I have to chain one after each round
Hi 🙂 Please crochet in continuous rounds without ch after each round.
Lovely cat, Thank you. Is this pattern designed to slip stitch at the end of each round or do I work continuously?
Please work in continuous rounds 🙂
