es un sitio muy lindo , gracias
Oh sooooo cute!!! I just showed the photo of this to my 8 month old granddaughter and she squealed with delight and had the biggest smile on her face. So I guess I’m definitely making this for her ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m on my second one and thought I messed up. But on row 6, I keep ending up with 45?
Ok, I got it! Row 6 should be: SC in the next 2, then 2SC in the next. Repeat around.
Thank you!
My legs are coming out wierd,by joining and ch 1 on each round do you increase on each row? Help!!
Im also having trouble with the legs! They look so small in comparison to thensure pictures
I absolutely love the Sock Monkey blanket but I cannot crochet. I’ve tried several times. I’ve even had others try to teach me. I’m left-handed so maybe that’s the reason why. Would you be interested in making me one? I am more than willing to buy one from you. I would love to give this to my nieces new baby! Thanks, Carrie.
I can! Find me on Facebook at http://www.Facebook.com/coleykcrochet or I’m also on Instagram!
Hi Nicole,
Did you use a single layer of fleece or did you sew two squares together?
Thank you,
Cheryl
Hello I am curious how I could make the head, arms and legs bigger to fit a 21\21 inch crocheted blanket for a two year olds birthday present.
