Row six doesn’t make sense to go from row 5 60 sts down to 18sts
Hi! You aren’t working around the entire circle. Just across the top.
Thank you so much for the pattern. I look forward to making this for my granddaughter’s birthday.
I just think this is so simple and cute
Made it for one of my granddaughters ?
Thanks for sharing the pattern
YAY! Thank you!!
Am I missing something on purse after round 5 for round 6 you only do 18 stitches. Is this correct. Thank you, judy0
Yes, this is correct 🙂
Now I. Doing hood unicorn scarf with pockets , when it says fold and sew back together with school does this mean folding short end and leaving long ends open, so you have 2 ends to meet and see,. Thank you, as you see in easily confused so please excuse and be patient with my quedtions
Hi! Are you working on the hood or the scarf?
Thank you I see now why. Almost done with it . love it for my great granddaughter 13 years old. Doing lots of owl projects
I’m doing good unicorn scarf with pockets. I’m not sure how you mean fold in half and see back together with sc does this mean fold in half long ways leaving 2 short end to be put together to make hood. Thank you Judy
The hood and the scarf are made separately and then sewn together. If you are working on the scarf then fold the short ends to make pockets. Then sew the edges together.
For the hood, lay the rectangle so the rows are going horizontal, then fold from left to right sewing along row 1.
Working on hood. Not sure tho how to fold it to be a hood . laying flat I fold top down to each corner of row one, is this what you mean. Sorry, I’m 76 years old and sometimes not sure.. But love crocheting and especially your patterns. Thank you again
Finally figured it out. Thinking scarf would go all the way around and I would need all 60 stitches for it. Thanks for your patience.
This is adorable! my daughter is having an owl birthday party for her 5th birthday… I am going to make 5 of these for the “give aways” instead of loot bags for her friends! thanks for the free pattern!
(Of course i will fill them with candy too)
