Sleepy and Sweety, two balloon-ish birds
About copyright: It's really something great when people like what I have designed. You can sell the final item or whatever you like, but it would be nice to reference where you found the pattern! If there is anything you do not understand or there are any mistakes, please, send me a message! As you can see in the way I write, English is not my first language. So, you could come across some mistakes and grammatical inconsistencies@. Sorry and my apologies! This file describes how to crochet two funny birds. They are not a sweet, they are not a balloon, but I've got inspired by both: sweets and balloons.
ABOUT YARN:
The yarn is Canada (Katia). Yardage: 100 grams and 82 yards (75 meters). Number of skeins: 1 yellos, 1 orange, 1 brown. ABOUTGAUGE: It is not important, as far as you are consistent with your tension. ABOUTHOOK: 5.5 mmhook Remember that when making amigurumis, stitches should be tight.
YOU WILL NEED:
Yarn for the bitds. Four safety eyes (two for each bird). Stuffing. Tapestry needle.
ABOUT CROCHET TERMS:
I've followed the US terminology. Stitch: st Chain: ch Slip stitch: sl st Single crochet: sc FLO: Front Loop Only BLO: Back Loop Only Sc2tog: decreasing two sc (i.e., 2 st become 1) Sc3tog: decreasing 3 sc (i.e. 3 stitches become 1) NOTE: I've made all the decreases as invisible decreases
PATTERN:
All the pattern is worked in spirals and working in BLO, so do not join at the end/beginning of a row.
