Notes

Have made several designs by the incomparable Ms. Garland. All are nothing short of divine.

Goes with Gray Bunny and Gray Little Kitty.

Directions are well written and photos are superb.

Held yarn double.

Errata:
Left Hind Leg:
pattern states:
R 30: Cast on 5, PM for Left Hind Leg, k 13,…
correction:
R 30: Cast on 5, PM for Left Hind Leg, k 8,…

Errata:
Right Hind Leg:
pattern states:
R 3: k4, (k2tog, k1) - 12 Right Hind Leg sts.
correction:
R 3: k4, (k2tog, k1) 4 times - 12 Right Hind Leg sts.

Inconsistant stitch counts:
Rows 12 - 14 of Left and Right Paw Front have conflicting stitch counts.
Both sections start with 9 st, but comparable rows don’t match up.
One needs to adjust. It’s not a big deal.

Confusing section:
Belly:
Yarn CD
Directions state to bind off after r 45 (10 st) = Throat Cast Off Edge.
Directions then state to pick up and knit 10 st from that Cast Off edge with same yarn CD and work 4 rows st st, continuing with remaining rows of the lower jaw.
Seems to me that one can work continuously from row 45 by working 5 rows st st, starting with a knit row.
Oh, well.

Held yarn double and worked it thru out keep things simple.
With US 3, got 26 st / 4” but the fabric was too dense.
Went with US 4 needles so it’s not so hard on my hands.
