hi, I'm alexander the alligator! 🐊
Happy Wednesday, friends! I just released a new pattern if you want to add to your reptile collection 🤪 This sweet gator was designed with Loops & Threads Demi Purl yarn, which is SO soft and fun to work with! The finished gator measures approx. 18 inches in length and the perfect size for hugs from littles! If you make Alexander, please post a photo in the community! I'd love to see! 🐊 If you are a Vault Member, you'll find his pattern in the "Reptiles and Insects" folder! ❤️ Marcy

This is so cute, haven't had much crochet time but hoping to change that this month :)
Confused 😕
Can someone please explain to me what I’m doing wrong. Trying to make a square and it doesn’t seem to stay the length I begin with

@Marcy Gardner not sure I am the best person to ask :( but thinking maybe the end rows have extra stitches and then towards the end there is less. Or I have had it where I don't keep my tightness the same and that seems to warp the shape.
Counting tips
Anyone have any advice on making sure you count the stitches right as I think I am failing 🤣 and may need to start my attempt at gloves again.

@Marcy Gardner Yeah I am I just forget what count I am on after about 10 stiches lol. So I have no clue if I have added extras in. But there isn't a beginning or an end I do a different stitch for every other stitch until I get to the end of that circle. But I am focusing so much on making sure I don't do the wrong stitch that counting is impossible on top of it.
