Gauge doesn’t really matter, as this is intended to hang outside and look natural. Just use an acrylic yarn with it’s respective hook and keep your stitches tight. It is designed to allow airflow in the stuffing.

Miss a stitch? No biggie, as this is meant to hang outside and look natural.

This is worked with one strand, all the way through. Just 2 ends to weave in for the entire piece.

The pattern cannot be shared/resold/etc, but feel free to sell your finished decoys, and please tag Birdhouse Studios 222 on ig & fb. I can usually get 5 complete decoys out of one skein of Caron One Pound. FANTASTIC margins for resale.
