Absolutely adorable! Thanks Cathy! And thank you for the easy to follow directions!
Mikey, are you using the two different yarns at the same time on the hook? It does not specifically say. Love these, they are adorable.
Hi Lynda, you want to use just one stand of 4 ply cotton yarn for these 😉 -cathy
I think there is a mistake in your directions. It should say lily sugar and cream OR bernat 4 ply cotton.
