Tuesdays Patterns Week 10

I hope the start of the week is going well.

I've got a little confession.

My Mother-in-law

took us away for a relaxing long weekend.

We got back yesterday.

I'll tell you more about it later in the week.

The only problem I have is what you are shown isn't what you get in the pattern.

The pattern is easy to follow

except you need to be aware that first st means 2nd ch from hook.

There is a mistakes.

On the cheeks 2 1sc in the next 3 st.

The thing that upset me the most was the parts

that just weren't in the pattern

The back beige part of the eye is in the pattern

but the black and white parts aren't.

Chip's black nose isn't in the pattern.

The feet are different in the pictures of the pattern

to what you get directed to do.

They even show leather at the bottom of the feet which isn't detailed.

The inside of the mouth isn't in the pattern as well.

The fluff on Dales head isn't in the pattern either.

Now overall I think mine turned out ok

but it was just disappointing not having the full pattern
