How would I knit these if I wanted to knit in the round. have yet to find a seaming method that I am satisfied with for knitting flat. thanks
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to make bigger for a 1 to 2 year old
ReplyDeleteThanks
would really love it if you did patterns for circular needles. your patterns are soooooo gosh dang cute but I am honestly no good at sewing up seams so that they are invisible.
