This pattern is fairly easy but when any pattern tells you to use a Cl, Puff St or any other “special” stitch, it should have a Stitch Explaination included somewhere. This pattern does not.
Hi Edna,
I see what you mean – I took a look at the pattern to see if there was a
quick answer to be had. Unfortunately, I don’t have access to the
information necessary to assist with incomplete or incorrect patterns
that are not manufactured by Maggie’s Crochet. I have provided contact
information for Red Heart below. You will need to contact them regarding
their patterns, and I am sure that they would appreciate your feedback.
