    1. FPDC = front post double crochet
      BPDC = back post double crochet

      I assume...

  2. I would love to make and sell these in my Etsy store, with full credit for the pattern to you, and a link to your site. Would that be alright with you?

  3. Hi, trying to make this for my new baby grand daughter, if I use regular yarn by Red Heart, would I still do 41 rows or would it be less because this yarn is heavier?
