Format Update

I've updated the format of all of my patterns here to match the format I'm now using for all of my for-sale patterns. The format I was following before was modeled after the format used in a crochet book I often used before I started making my own patterns. However, I can see how it was unnecessarily confusing. So I've started using this new format instead.

For example, before my pattern would have said: rnd 3 - *sc in next 2, 2sc in next. rep from * 5 times.

Seeing as you need to do the sc in next 2, 2sc in next a total of 6 times (once and then repeated 5 times) some people were getting confused on what it all meant.

Now that line will be written as: rnd 3 - [sc in next 2, 2sc in next] 6 times.

I think this makes it a lot clearer that you are supposed to do that section 6 times total and also cleans up the look of the pattern.

I hope this will help everyone out! As always feel free to ask any questions you may have, or even request a plushie for me to make next. Happy crocheting!
