ReplyDeleteAdorable just learning but im still confused on reading g crochet but your work inspires me to keep at it :) thanks
ReplyDeleteQuestion: When making the head, do you leave it empty or do you stuff it with yarn to give it a full figure? Just Wondering.
ReplyDeleteHello Nicole!
DeleteOnce I get to the neck I stuff it firmly as I am crocheting :)
