Larger of the two Rowlet dumpling versions; construction identical to the small one, with one extra plain round. 'B' = 3 sc in one stitch. Add orange beak and feet, stitch sleepy eyes with dark thread.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between the two versions?
The larger version adds one extra plain round and shifts the face rounds down; construction is otherwise identical.
What does 'B' mean in the original chart?
B is 3 sc worked into one stitch — it puffs out the white face edge on the color-change round.
