Chain 6, slip stitch in second chain from the hook, half double crochet into the next chain, treble crochet into the next chain, half double crochet into the next chain, and then slip stitch into the next chain.

Feet (make in the color C)

 make a magic circle, put 6 single crochet into it (slip stitch into the first stitch so you have a complete circle)

Sew all of the pieces onto the eagle. When you sew on the beak onto the main body, I recommend using some extra yarn to stitch two little lines on either side of the beak to give it more definition. Stitch on little half arrows on the belly with a separate piece of yarn if you want.

It is done! I love the whip stitch for the border.

Closer to completion! Now I gotta do the background.

That’s what she said.

Just a little update of what I’m working on

I like to make gifts during the summer because it gives me time to think them through and make them.

I'm happy with the overall outcome, but I'm sad that I had to use a different shade of yarn for the hairpiece, arms, legs, and ears. This thing is fucking huge! I have to hold it with both hands to safely carry it around. The yarn was a bit of a challenge to work with, but after a while it got easier. The smaller the piece is, the harder it is to work with the furry yarn. Also, I don't think I will take this project apart in the future just because it's so hard to see where the stitches are, where the start and ending areas are, and where you sewed the extra parts down.

The Jigglypuff pattern came from the book Pokémon Crochet: Bring your favorite Pokémon to life with 20 cute crochet patterns by Sabrina Somers. (Here is a Amazon link: not sponsor https://www.amazon.com/Pok%C3%A9mon-Crochet-favourite-crochet-patterns/dp/1446308332)

The yarn is the Fairy Tale Fur yarn (Link, not sponsor: https://www.knitpicks.com/fairy-tale-fur-value-packs/g/FabFurVP)

What you think

I had an idea that I can put yarn on a canvas. I think it could work if I didn’t cover the canvas in a thin layer of white paint and if I use a smaller needle.

I really like how this guy turned out! Defiantly better then Faust for sure.

This is Bong Bong from Lobotomy Corporation. Actually, Bong Bong isn't even a real character from the game. She is from a game through by a YouTuber. She is kinda like a meme character and I love her.

I don’t regret anything

Basically, I cut up some dollar store stuff animals, did a blanket stitch around them, and then crocheted around the stitches. The backing was a little smaller than I wanted but I made it work.

[thecrappycrafter]

She loves it. I knit the main portion of the blanket. I crochet a single crochet and ripple stitch for a border.

Crochet Faust

I’m super happy with how this turned out. I’m definitely going to do the other characters. I start with Faust because her design is simple.

Just a blanket I work on

This blanket is so heavy.

A loom knit hat

I made this for my mom. It’s made out of Caron Simply Soft yarn with a KnitPicks Pom Pom.
