Free Bits & Bobbles Crochet Dog Sweater Pattern

A bit confusing

OK...ignore my first review. I finally figured it out after I frogged it. The pattern is confusing at the leg openings. It would have been helpful to have a diagram. It would have been helpful to say 'Join a new ball of yarn to the next section (after the slip stitches of the previous row)'. And move the "Note" up between the first and second row.

Could you explain the leg opening better? I don't understand it at all.

Response to Answer. Thank you. So, on pg 2, second col. I work row 1. 2, 3 under Bobble Pat as follows. Right? After 3rd row, it says to cont in Pat. Where do I go? After that it says Cont What is the Bobble Pat mentioned on page 1 and top of pg 2?

Completed collar and body 1st row. I did the first row of bobble starting with ch 1, 2 sc and then bobble using instruction under bobble pattern on page 1. Now what do I do after the first bobble row? Follow instructions for rows 2-4 on top of page 2?

How many separate balls should I make for the leg sections? I don't see anything in the pattern notes about this. Thank you.

I don’t have a big dog. She’s a papillon mix and her chest measures 20” which would be an XL. Is this pattern for smaller dogs and an XL really will be the right size for a papillon mix breed?

I'm glad I'm not the only one confused with this pattern. I too am lost around the leg openings. Am I working with 2 balls of yarn? One on each side of the sweater? And when do you connect or go back to one ball?

leg openings 2nd row says: join to first stitch of next section. What is a section?

Under instructions it states Bobble pattern but does not tell you how many chains to begin with. Is that section placed there for future reference and you really start with Dog coat?
