This was my first PlanetJune pattern and I have since purchased more. I was amazed at how beautifully the badger takes shape. I followed the detailed instructions carefully, used stitch markers and counted stitches on each round to get the facial stripes and colour changes to come out perfectly. This pattern requires you to focus your attention and your efforts will be rewarded with a handsome badger. It is important to use stitch markers and use them correctly, reviewing June's excellent tutorials first sets you up for success. Thank you June for your design expertise and stellar customer service.
