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)

You should make the actual pattern bigger then their can be a adult and baby pterodactyl family.
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
Can these be made with any yarn or only cotton. I am learning thank you
Hey Sophie! These can be made with any type of yarn, just be sure to use a similar hook! It’s fun to make these using Blanket Yarn too, to make giant pterodactyls!
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.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
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
YAYAY!! The next dino (Ankylosaurus) is on it’s way too, and I have 2 more on the horizon too!
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.
