ReplyDeleteI used Lions Brand Hometown USA which is 142g but used less than half of that for the green and light green. This is a size 6 Super Bulky Yarn. Hope I answered your questions. Please let me know if you have anymore.
DeleteCan you help me with this one please:
ReplyDeleteRow 19: D every other peg tossing the bottom loop over. (12 pegs)
DSCOF
Do I e-wrap every other peg and then toss the bottom loop over or am I moving a loop from like example from peg 1 to peg 2 and then moving the bottom loop over?
I would appreciate clarification on this as well! :)
DeleteI will try it.. i'll let you know. thank you!
ReplyDeleteHI Scarlet! My daughter wants a turtle. How big will this be? Any simply trick to make it bigger -- not huge, maybe 8 or 10 inches long.
ReplyDeleteHi Scarlet, I loved your teddy bear so I thought I'd try the turtle. It's so cute, but I do not see 2 shades of green. Row 1-6 show light green, is that the blue as shown above. Or is row 1-6 the bottom of the turtle which is not shown. Thanks for your help.
