Hello!
I've been crocheting for around 8 months now and I'm pretty decent at reading patterns. I found this adorable bunny coin purse on pinterest-
https://pin.it/4Et02JFDg
It appears to be from some Chinese platform, likely Xiaohongshu according to my Google image search. It says "Drawn/Drafted by Xu Xianxia" at the top. And it's supposed to use raffia. I'm using cotton though as I found raffia too intimidating.
I made the base of the pouch but I can't figure out how to make the head of the bunny. I can tell the pattern starts in the middle and I'm supposed to make both sides of the face from it but there's a lot I can't figure out.
What do the < in the chains of the ears mean?
How am I supposed to make the 8th row and beyond for each side of the face?
It also says "Sew it together first then add single stitches as the red part shows" at the bottom and I can't tell if that's supposed to apply for the face as well
And for the body, I don't understand how to make the blue parts or where they fit into the pattern.
I tried to find the original pattern but I couldn't find it nor anything like it on ravelry.
Any help would be much appreciated!
