This is great! I love all your patterns. 🙂
Just so you know, one aspect of this applique was a bit confusing. When it comes to the bumps on the alligator's back, your pattern says there should be a total of 4 bumps. The first time I tried to make the pattern, I hadn't looked at the picture and couldn't figure out why I was coming out with extra stitches before the nose. I remade it a couple of different times before I checked with the finished picture and realized that there are 5 bumps on yours. Once I added the last bump it worked great. But maybe I was just misunderstanding something?

I can't figure out how to do the bumps at all on the alligator's back! It just keeps turning out flat. I must be doing something wrong 🙁 Is there any way someone could make a short video tutorial of it?
Catherine C says
Did you ever figure it out? Because I'm having the same problem.
