Free Crochet Super Ground Hog Pattern

Needs updating

The pattern is not worked in a continuous round and would create a seam up the side if done according to the pattern. I modified the pattern and worked in a continuous spiral and used the yarn-under sc stitch to make a nicer end product. The pattern is vague, there’s no total row count for the body, no direction on where to place the parts so I had to guess. The picture on the website shows a toy full of holes where you can see the stuffing peeking through, even the legs and ears have holes which means they weren’t properly closed up before stuffing. I’m surprised this hasn’t been tested or edited for clarity since it’s listed as an easy pattern.

• Hello and thank you for providing us feedback on the Crochet Groundhog. We're glad that you found crocheting the pattern as a spiral yielded a better result. One of the gifts of making things on our own is that a pattern can be used as a launching off point, and the consumer can adjust the pattern as they wish. This holds true as well for the density of stitches and the different standards of how tight the stitches need to be for a toy. In answer to your note about there being no row count for the body, it is included in the following instruction: 6th rnd: Ch 1. 1 sc in each sc around. Join with sl st to first sc. Rep last rnd 6 times more. After these 12 rows, you begin the rounds for head shaping. The pictures are meant to be a guide for placement of the ears, legs and tails. We're sorry you did not find this adequate. We appreciate that you took the time to share your thoughts about this pattern, and hope you have better experiences with others in our catalog.
