A little mystery with a lot of fun! There are 3 Parts in this Mystery CAL.

I designed this pattern to help raise funds for surgery for Midas, my faithful companion, whose picture is on the cover. I will be designing more fun patterns for accessories for pets –and their companions, the children and adults who love them. All of these special designs will continue to help other pets once Midas has had his surgery, for I will donate a percentage of profits from the sale of patterns and items I make to charities that help dogs, cats, and other pets whose owners need help funding surgery and related expenses.
If you need help with the pattern, or spot any errors, please contact me! A personal message on Facebook, on my Pawsitive Knits, West Coast Fibre Arts, OR email at westcoastsupernatural@yahoo.ca

What do you need to make this?
• 5mm and 6mm crochet hooks.
• Worsted weight or aran weight yarn in the colour of your choice. I used Bernat Super Value, Red Heart Super Saver, and other yarns. How much yarn do you need? That depends on the size!
