ReplyDeleteAwww, you're so sweet Nellie, thank you! I really appreciate your kind words; it makes my day! I hope you have a fun time crocheting from my patterns! :)
DeleteThis is such a wonderful pattern! I tweaked it just a little to make the hair long, but the cap made that process so much easier! Thank you for the time and effort you put into this pattern, as well as for sharing it with us. ☺
