@Brook123 I'm sorry this didn't work out for you. Maybe I could try to help you figure out how it's done. Please don't discourage other users from trying this pattern. As you can see from the pictures there are lots of people who successfully did this pattern. I think it's a great beginner friendly pattern.
It is cute even if it is so small. Good to make while watching youtube or something. If you have some leftover string that is on the longer side, you could definitely make this with them. 👍 🙂
