  1. Thank you thank you thank you thank you for posting this pattern. I've had it "in my cart" on Etsy for so long, was so sad when it wasn't available. As soon as you posted this on FB, I rushed over to Etsy to get my copy - right now! Can't wait to start stitching. So cute! Again, thanks! :-)

  2. I was happy to purchase too. Despite the written pattern and the diagram I can’t wait to see the video for the short row shaping. I’m very much a visual person. I’m struggling a bit but I’ll keep trying until the video is ready.

    1. I uploaded a video to facebook a couple of years ago on the short row shaping which may help! (I've also embedded it into this blog post now but here is the direct link: https://www.facebook.com/HookedbyRobin/videos/1010670792396422/ )

  3. This is such a sweet pattern and I can't wait to make it.
    Must've taken quite a lot of trial and error, especially with the tail.

  4. I was just wondering, if there was a way once you get to row 36 to split the body and the tail? As in the body being one part and then the tail being separate. I'd love to use this as a bag for my gaming dice and store them in the tail but since it's all done as one piece it would be hard to get them in and out of the purrmaid. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  5. What I would do is either just fasten off at row 31 with an invisible decrease and stuff, maybe sew on a fabric panel or continue on to decrease until close and then start from row 32. I would add an extra row of just sc to that section, but to start, chain 36, join into a circle and then be sure to chain into the BACK BAR of your foundation row to get a nice edge for your pouch edge. Then complete the tail as the pattern describes. Hope this helps!

  6. OR when you'just starting the rows of sc back around the full tail at 48, for the first two rows do 2 ch the other stitches until you get.to the other side of the back accross the belly until only 2 stitches from row 34 are left, sc in these 2.as well as the rest of.row 47. Row 49 sc in all the back sts, the first two sts you made and all the ch sts (again in the back bar) and then all the sts after. Finish the tail to the patter. When your done,stuff as you wish, sew a little fabric panel in through your gap and then sew a zipper in the gap for your opening!
