Thank you so much for purchasing a copy of Crochet Cute Forest Friends! I hope these patterns bring you inspiration and joy as you create a menagerie of soft plushie animal friends for yourself and loved ones.
Unfortunately, there was a minor error in the total stitch counts for elements of the Ladybug Head, Bear Snout and Moose Snout. The stitch instructions themselves are correct; only the total stitch counts were miscalculated. Please use the corrected text below. I apologize for any inconvenience caused and hope that you enjoy creating the critters from this book!
