I'm currently working on making this cute dinosaur! I just completed line 21 which says: "Inc, 2 sc, inc, 3 sc, inc, 4 sc, inc, 3sc, inc, 4 sc (28)" When I got to the last increase I had 6 stitches left instead of 4. After counting multiple times to make sure it wasn't my mess up I undid the row and added a '2 sc' in the very beginning. So my row ended up like this "2sc, inc, 2 sc, inc, 3 sc, inc, 4 sc, inc, 3sc, inc, 4 sc (28)" and that worked out for me! Here's hoping this small change doesn't make my dinosaurs head look weird lol! Thank you very much for the pattern!

Hi Natasha, thanks for catching that! I checked my handwritten notes and I definitely made a typo there. You are correct in adding 2 more sc in that row. I will update the pattern.
