  21. Excuse me, I am attempting to make this and I am very confused with the antlers. I have followed the pattern and it is not turning out. If I SC around, I am unsure which part is supposed to measure the .5 or 1 inch for point 2, please help!

    1. The measurement of .5 for one antler and 1 inch for the other is length from tip to where you are crocheting. I found I only had to do one row of single crochet after Row 2 to get .5 inch on the short one and about 5 or 6 rows of single crochet after Row 2 to get 1 inch on the longer one. Then continue on to joining them and extending the base of the antler.

  22. Sorry your having trouble with the pattern... I'm not sure I understand your question, but I would suggest trying my ravelry group for more help!
    Thanks

  23. Sorry if this publishes twice, my first comment didn't appear to publish.
    I'm on row 10 of the ears and am lost. Where am I supposed to push the skipped stitches to? Should I be getting an elbow macaroni shape? Do I need to sl st for 6 and then sc for 12? So far none of my attempts resemble what the ears look like in the pattern pictures. Are there any in progress photos/diagrams, or alternate directions that explain the last couple steps for the ears in a different way?

  24. I know this isn't the best way to answer pattern questions, but skipping stitches means just that... Think of it as making a pleat, and push the unused sts to the back. This should give you an ear just as pictured in the pattern. If you are still having trouble, try the group on ravelry: CAL with DawnToussaint

  26. Not sure if you will get this as it's almost a year past your last post - what size needles are you using for the scarf?
