Adorable. Nothing else needs to be said. I see that there are notes in previous comments about the pattern. I hope that issue is resolved soon.

These are just adorable. Had I been knitting when my sons were younger, these cuties would have been in their lunch boxes. Still disappointed there is an error in the directions.

Does anyone know what row 5 in the ties/leaf section would be?

I checked the bernat site and it is missing there also, it has to be an increase to keep the pattern consistent. so what I suggest has happened is that the 5th row is incorrectly marked as the 7th row. The pattern appears correct as written, but it is numbered incorrectly. Hope this helps.
