  1. I keep having two too many stitches through these rounds. Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

    Rnd 3: sc 1, inc 1, leg, inc 1, sc 1, inc 1, leg, inc 1, sc 4 (16)

    Rnd 4: sc 2, invdec 1, sc 5, invdec 1, sc 5 (14)

    Rnd 5: sc 1, invdec 1, sc 5, invdec 1, sc 4 (12)

  2. You have a no sew tag on this pattern, even though there’s a whole section of how to sew the head, body, and wings together you may want to fix that

  3. Sooooo worth signing up. Now I can get all the patterns that aren’t on your mainstream youtube. And they’re so cute I can’t . I need to make a public Instagram so I can show all the ones I’ve made.

  4. OMG I have been waiting for you to come out with at Pterodactyl design forever!!! I can’t wait to add them to my collection! :0

      • The feet are the hardest part, in my opinion. It gets harder to manuever on the second toe, due to all the links you made before. I also seem to have a hard time with counting the right # of stitches between the feet and tail, so to avoid warping the position, I like to make the first 1-2 stitches in the previous stitch, keeping my grounding stitch in line.
