    Thanks! I'm working on a Jack Russel Terrier toy for my soon-to-be-born grandson.

    To keep place in my rounds, I use a Clover stitch marker, the kind that opens like a safety pin so I can move it when I want to. It takes some practice to recognize round changes.

    So no, not difficult. Give it a try! Toys are very forgiving, if you make some small mistakes.

    The patterns I have used lately come from Jan Schenkel's first book, Animal Friends of Pica Pau. She writes good patterns! I have also bought patterns on Etsy and had no problems.
    Thanks for your reply and insight. I do know most stitches and have used markers because it's easy for me to get lost on a round. It's probably due to my lack of attention as I crochet. Thanks also for the links to patterns. Such cute items!
