need help with pattern Teddy Bear/Bunny

Hi!

 

I'm really new to reading patterns, and i'm having trouble with the following pattern:

I'm lost at the very second step!

 

If you don't join or turn around, how do you get to the next set of stitches? i don't understand how to move up if you do not join or turn. I know this has to be something simple that i havent learned or i'm totally missing, so please help.

 

I've never followed a pattern before, but i really wanted to make a teddy bear, and i thought i would try to give this pattern a try.

 

PS: If anyone's got a different pattern they would like to share, please do!

Easy as pie. If you use a marker for the beginning of the round, as they suggest, you'll just jump to the first stitch after the marker for the first stitch of your next round.

Imagine you are going in a spiral.

Ah, okay, i think i get it....i'll go home tonight and see if i can get it to work! Thanks so much, I have some awesome yarn from "Sandstone Ranch" (http://www.sandstoneranch.com/bulky1.htm)

 

and i have just enough to make a mid-size teddy bear/bunny rabbit. I'll have to free-form the ears, but i really appreciate everyones help "reading" the pattern. I'm so dumb when it comes to patterns.
