Stitch marker moving
I cant seem to change how i crochet. The round always moves to left so when i get to increase and then decrease cheeks they are off center.

Hi Amanda6, that sounds frustrating. In which round do you bump into this?

Hi,
It is every round, it moves one over so when i get to the parts where ypu have to kncrease and decrease for the shape of cheeks it crooked and not in line with the ears. I have just made it work by moving my stitch marker back. But is this the norm for these patterns.
Below is body. I adjusted the head so it would work. To add legs and tail im going to have to go back about 5 stitches.

Hi Amanda6, it might be a stitch was off at the beginning of the work, throwing off the balance. It's a good idea to adjust the positions of the legs and tail (this is recommended for all projects). Can you perhaps also share a picture of the front of the bunny, with the cheeks?

Hi Dorarara,
I had to adjust the cheeks to be centre. It is every pattern I attempt. I will just have to try to find more tutorials on starting the rounds properly. Frustrating as i have tried for many years and cant seem to get it on any pattern.

I get that it's frustrating (believe me, I struggled with crochet so much in the beginning even my boss couldn't make head nor tails of it 😅). ❤️Your stitches are real neat, but it might be you're accidentally working 2 stitches in the same stitch from time to time, adding stitches to each round without knowing (that could explain the stitch marker moving so much).
