Chowder the Crab - 5 Page PDF

After spending some time at the beach one day, we happened upon a upside down crab. Of course we carefully flipped them and he ended up staying with us all afternoon. What we didn’t expect was to find him in our cooler when we got home however, but he’s been with us ever since.

This PDF includes the written instructions in US terms and step-by-step photos detailing how to make the pieces to finish your creation. When made with DK weight yarn (sample made in Stylecraft Special DK) and a 2.0mm hook, the finished crab will measure around 15cm/6” tall.

The project can be made using any weighted yarn, just adjust the hook size to match your choice.

You’ll need to know how to:

• make a Magic Ring or a chain 2 equivalent
• work in a round
• single crochet
• increase/decrease
• half double crochet
• front/back loop only
• slip stitch
• crab stitch (written instructions included)

You will need the following materials:

Yarn: Stylecraft Special Dk - Acrylic - 100g/295m/323 yards
1 ball of each colour (you won’t need full balls): White 1001 and Clementine 1853
