About this pattern
Skill level: Beginner to advanced.
A basic knowledge of crochet stitches are require. The bobble stitch uses 4
stitches together. There are some great videos on how to do a bobble stitch.
Even though it is not written specifically into the pattern all increases and
decreases are invisible; therefore, it is helpful to familiarize yourself with
invisible increase, and invisible decrease. At row 15 you will create 2 openings by
skipping 13 stitches.
Part A is for the heads and ears. Part B is for the tail and back.
*Kitty variations require colour changes in the middle of select rows it can get a
tad difficult.
Most of all have fun!! Like all things, all dumpling kitties will be different!! As the
creator enjoy each unique piece as it comes!
