Notes

Wonderful design.
Fun to make.

I didn’t do the increases on r 15 of the head, so the head shape isn’t as designed, but it looks very good anyway.

Recommendation:
All the increases for the designs in this book are kfb.
One’s pieces will look a little better if one works lifted increases. Doesn’t matter if it’s a left or right lifted inc.

Recommendation:
Ears:
Instructions state to make two outer ears and two inner ears all the same.
They will look better having the inner ears slightly smaller than the outer.
To adjust, make the outer ears two stitches bigger than written and two rows longer. Then make the inner ears as written.
Alternatively, make the outer ears as written and the inner ears two stitches smaller and two rows shorter.

I made the ears on mine as written and I’m not super happy with how the inner ear shows. I think the ears on the design ears were adjusted for the picture.
