    2. I used hdc for the curls and found I got a curlier tail. 2 hdc in 2nd chain from hook and 3 in each chain thereafter. Thanks for the fab pattern, I've really enjoyed it :-)

  17. I love this pattern so much! I'd just suggest making sure to let people know if it's continuous rounds or slip stick at the end of some rows.

    I will say though, I've learned a bunch by following this, the legs specifically, I've been crocheting them and just sewing onto the body....not anymore! Thank you!
