ik vind het leuk dat het doet
Whenever I make these they turn out toddler size not newborn. Any reason why?
Hello, the upper foot doesn’t make sense to me. We take off 19, knit only 8, skip then decrease the net rows? What about the other 10 stitches we pulled off? I tried the pattern using all 19 stitches to see if that worked and the final definitely didn’t add up and left a massive hole on the top that would need to be seemed. Can you please verify how to do the upper foot? Thank you :)
