  1. I'm having a little trouble understanding the instructions for the first row. After I do 3 dc in end of fsc row, where do I yarn into to do the next sts for the rest of row 1?

  2. You should work along the other edge of the fsc row.

  3. Thank you! I figured it out eventually lol. I also didn't realize I had posted on the tween size. Now I'm stuck on the 11th row in the child size. The sts aren't adding up. 14 SC, then a total of 44 fpdc/bpdc, then 1 fpdc, then 14 SC adds up to 73 sts, and I'm 2 sts short at the end of the row. I've counted over and over. Am I doing the math wrong, or do I just put an extra 2 SC to end the row?

  4. Don't worry about being off a stitch or two, just go with it and enjoy the process.

  5. Would this pattern also work for an adult woman?

  6. Would this pattern work for an adult, if I add a few more rows after row 9?
