I’m an experienced knitter, approaching 50 years in the craft (yikes). With that being said, I found this pattern challenging to follow. There was a lot of swearing going on as I was trying to cast onto wrong pieces, and confused on which part to connect to what.
The row numbers keep changing and restarting, named “things” don’t make sense later…. towards the end, I gave up on the written instructions and just used common sense to finally finish this poor guy. There needs to be more photos in the file. And a schematic would be helpful also, so one could understand the overall shape and how it’s eventually constructed.
