Easter Chicken

 This time round, instead of bunny, I am making Easter Chicken. The big easter egg is in the earlier post. The assembling of the hair, beak, eyes and all, I did before I add stuffing in the head. Please refer to the tutorial video for guidance.


The tutorial video :

1) Start with a magic circle / ring. Do 6 single crochet (sc) into the ring      [total 6]

2) Do 2 sc into each stitch (inc)     [total 12]

3) (Sc, inc) - 6X     [total 18]

4) (Sc, inc, sc) - 6X     [total 24]

5) (Sc next 3, inc) - 6X     [total 30]

6) Sc all around     [total 30]

7) Sc next 2, inc (sc next 4, inc) - 5X, sc next 2     [total 36]

8) (Sc next 5, inc) - 6X     [total 42]

13) Sc next 10, inc next 2, sc next 19, inc next 2, sc next 9     [total 46]

14) - 16) Sc all around     [total 46]

17) Sc next 11, do 2together (dec) next 2, sc next 19, dec next 2, sc next 8     [total 42]

18) (Sc next 5, dec) - 6X     [total 36]

19) Sc next 2, dec (sc next 4, dec) - 5X, sc next 2     [total 30]

20) (Sc next 3, dec) - 6X     [total 24]

21) Sc, dec, (sc next 2, dec) - 5X, sc     [total 18]

22) Dec all around      [total 9]

Leave a bit of a tail, sew on all the front loop and pull to seal the hole.  When assembling the eye, I made a stitch on the 2 eyes, pull, to make the 2 eyes sunk in. (Refer to the tutorial video)


Chicken Body

1) Start with a magic circle / ring. Do 6 sc into the ring.      [total 6]

Sponge Bob Square Bag

 This is a tapestry bag. A simple square bag make using cotton yarn. In order to make the Sponge Bob look realistic,  I follow the color of a poster I found online. I can't remember the name of the blue or the yellow etc. Just use my eyes to see which blue matches the blue in the character.  The tutorial video :  The poster that I got from the internet look like this :  Abbreviation : G = green   W = white   R = red   M = Maroon   Bk = black   B = blue   P = pink   Y = yellow The blue that use on the side and the back panel is of a different blue from the above.  I start with a row of the other blue (a lighter blue). This blue row is a chain of 49. The whole bag is just single crochet. The 2nd row onwards is the Sponge Bob color, as in when to change to which color. The pattern below, my 1) is actually the 2nd row and the color I mention is from right to left, like how we crochet. The num...
