This pattern will be worked in the round, use a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds. Any turning chains in the legs do not count for the final stitch count. There are 2 options for the head, full bloom and half bloom. Full bloom has more flowers and very frequent color changes. If this is a challenge, you can try half bloom. The head shape ends up just a little different with each version. If you like no sew patterns, work up the hands and feet first, then the hair and the cactus. I recommend adding the eyes and face details after the hands and feet to keep everything centered. I've included a mat for Cathy to sit on and some suggested poses. Have fun and customize your Cathy as you like! For pattern questions email me: madebykarla@gmail.com
