Can you tell me how to attach the fangs?
The fangs were embroidered.
Is it possible to use a different sized yarn with this pattern?
Yes, the design won’t change 🙂
Fofinho! Adote!
Hola muchas gracias por el patron, pero no veo la manera de hacer los colmillos supongo q es con hilo para bordar
Can you please recommend a type of yarn to get to use for these please! I really want to make these for my daughter she loves Halloween and I know she would love these! Her birthday is October 5th. So I have to get busy! Thank you!!
Hi Linda 🙂 You can use any 4-5 ply (super fine, fine, baby) acrylic or semi-cotton yarn.
I used worsted weight 100% cotton. It’s not as soft as the recommended yarn, and it’s bigger, but it’s so cute and I just love it in the cotton. The stitch definition of cotton is so pretty.
Hermoso y bien explicado gracias por compartir
Esta muy lindo. Gracias por tu amabilidad de compartir.pilar
hermosos!!!!!!
Bellísimos !!
