Notes
  • MC Brava Kenai for the Body

  • CC Caramel Cookie (stripes and the underside)

  • Video Tutorial

  • Used the 3 needle bind-off to join the two tail sections. Knit each tail section with the same number of rows.

  • Added some mosaic pattern knitting where possible to add interest.

  • Added two extra rows to the neck.

  • Used Swish Honey for the beak with Size 6 DPNs.

  • For the beak after there were 5 stitches I purled back and then K 1, slip one, K2 tog, PSSO, K 1; pull through the 3 remaining stitches and then did the seaming.

  • Block all the pieces after knitting and before any sewing.

  • Created an inner “beanbag” with nylon sock and Poly-Fil Poly-Pellets

  • Helpful Seaming Video

  • Source for Safety Eyes

  • For donation to the Annual Fund Raising Raffle for St. James Church Ministry of Consolation for Community Outreach Efforts (Food Pantry, etc.) to be held October 2024.

  • Decided to set a goal of 24 Emotional Support Chickens in 2024. (24in24) This is ESC #21
