Instructions
Crow Body:
- For this pattern we will be working in rounds.
- Round 1: Using black yarn, make a MR and make sc x6 in the circle. If you find it difficult making a magic ring you can chain 2 and then crochet sc x6 in the second chain from the hook. (6)
- Round 2: Inc in every sc. (12)
- Round 3: Inc, sc, inc, sc and repeat until end of round (18)
- Round 4-6: Sc in every stitch (18)
- Round 7: Inc x6, then sc x12 (24), The increase will be the back end of the bird.
- Round 8-10: Sc in every stitch (24) Place safety eyes on the crow.
- Round 11: Dec, sc x2 and repeat the rest of the round (18)
- Round 12: Dec, sc, and repeat the rest of the round (12)
- Round 13: Dec the entire round (6). Fasten off and sew closed. If you would like the body of the crow to be more pronounced, before weaving in the ends, stick the needle to the exact place you made the increases in round 7( by going through the bird body), then reinsert the needle at the end of those increases and slightly pull to make the indent more pronounced. Then tie, fasten off and weave in the ends.
Wings:
- Round 1: Using black yarn, make a MR and make sc x5 in the circle. If you find it difficult making a magic ring you can chain 2 and then crochet sc x5 in the second chain from the hook. (5)
- Round 2: Inc in every sc. (10)
- Round 3: Sc in every stitch (10). Fold over and crochet the wing shut by going through both sides of the wing's stitches. Then fasten off and leave the tail for sewing.
Feet:
- With gray yarn ch x3, then sl st into the second ch from the hook. Sl st in the last remaining ch. [Then ch x2, and in the second ch from the hook make another sl st, then sl st into the next spot which should already have a sl st in it]. Then repeat what's in the bracket one more time. Fasten off and leave the tail for sewing.
- Once everything is completed you can sew the crochet crow together! Sew one wing to each side and the feet down by the bottom front of the body. Then you can take gray yarn and create a nice little beak by embroidering over the same stitch between the eyes until a small little bird beak forms.
- And now you have a cute crochet crow!
