    Hi there – Do you think you can use regular weight yarn on this little guy? Or is the bulky really key to the pattern? Thank you!

      The head has one more row than the body but in pictures it looks shorter. Did you have problems with this?

        I’ve looked at this carefully, and it seems like the body pattern is correct, but the head is off. I can clearly see 15 rounds in her body segment. There are definitely too many rounds in the pattern for the head. It looks like the stiches for the head increase up to round 4, and then don’t start decreasing until round 9. So, for the head, it is most likely rounds 5 – 8 are 32 SC. Her round 11 is reallly round 9, her round 12 is really round 10, etc. You’ll end with round 14.

    Im trying to make the puppy but my head is bigger than his belly. Which is ok according to the pattern, 16 rows for the head and 15 of the belly, however it looks really strange and totally not like the pictures… Am i doing something wrong?

      I just finished the body and starting on the head I noticed it has one more row than body. Wondered if it would come out looking different than picture. Did you ever get an answer to your question?

      I figured out the error, I’ve replied to Jane’s comment further down showing what it should be

    I really find it annoying when there are questions in the comments but they are never answered! It would be really helpful for someone like me who is finding the same problem…head has more rows than the body yet pictures clearly show the head is shorter. Another person finished the head and found it to be not same as pictured. So what’s the deal? Anyone have an answer? Is the pattern wrong?

      Thanks to your comment I saw there was a problem before attempting to make this, I looked at another of her patterns for a bear which is based on the same body and head, so I’ve figured out where the problem is
      Round 5-9 should be Round 5-11
      Round 11 should be Round 12
      Round 12 should be Round 13
      Round 13 should be Round 14
      Round 14 should be Round 15
      Round 15 should be Round 16
      Round 16 should be Round 17

      Hope this helps and you’re right the publisher should reply to their own messages

        Are the corrections that are posted for the head or the body?
