Question
AndriaM
Hello, all!
I'm a new member and so glad to find you.
I hope you can help me figure out the directions to this dog sweater because I just don't get it.
I came back to crochet a few years back and have been using those kits to make ammigurumi for my niece and nephew. Having never read patterns before that, it was a pretty good beginning.
Before I go on to making my own beautiful items out of expensive yarn, I thought I would make some sweaters for my elderly, skinny cat.
This dog sweater is working in rows and I believe what they are doing is making a square, then continuing with the next square that contains leg openings and then the back body square and then sewing the seams at the belly from front to back to close it. The directions are subdivided into upper body, leg openings, lower body.
I have that much figured out (which is better than a few days ago - ha!)
What I can't figure out is what is meant in the directions by the leg openings portion. I did two rows and I'm not creating openings so I don't get it.
I don't get why you need two different balls of yarn, for instance (although I did it), but by the time I get to the end of the second row and look at the third I realize I'm doing something wrong so I stopped in frustration last night. lol
I am adding two pictures:
the finished project (it's beaded - so cute!)
and the portion of the directions that I do not understand.
I appreciate your help very much!!!
