Instructions

  1. CH2/ magic ring in red Round 1: 3sc red; 3sc black into centre of 2nd stitch from hook/ magic ring [6] Round 2: INC three times in red, INC three times in black around [6 red, 6 black = 12] Round 3: [1sc, INC] Repeat three times red, three times black [9 red, 9 black = 18] Round 4: [2sc, INC] Repeat three times red, three times black [12 red, 12 black = 24] Round 5: 12sc red, 12sc black [24] Round 6 – 7: 12sc black, 12sc red [24] Round 8: [2sc, DEC] Repeat three times black, three times red [9 black, 9 red = 18] Round 9: [1sc, DEC] Repeat three times black, three times red [6 black, 6 red = 12] Round 10: DEC three times black, three times red [3 black, 3 red = 6] Stuff firmly Round 11: INC white, INC twice red, INC twice black, INC white [2 white, 4 red, 4 black, 2 white = 12] Round 12: [1sc, INC] once white, twice red, twice black, once white [3 white, 6 red, 6 black, 3 white = 18] Round 13: [2sc, INC] once white, twice red, twice black, once white [4 white, 8 red, 8 black, 4 white = 24] Round 14 – 16: 4sc white, 8sc red, 8sc black, 4sc white [24] Round 17: [2sc, DEC] three times red, three times black [9 red, 9 black = 18] Round 18: [1sc, DEC] three times red, three times black [6 red, 6 black = 12]Round 19: DEC three times red, three times black [3 red, 3 black = 6] I really hope that makes sense! If not please ask in the comments and I’ll try clarify. An easier way to make the head would be to make a fully white head with a separate hood, but that’s a trial for another time!

  2. To make the hood horns (one red, one black): Ch7 Row 1 – 3: 6sc starting in second chain from hook [6] Ch1, turn Row 4: 6sc starting in second chain from hook [6] Finish leaving a long tail for sewing. Fold in half length ways and sew edges together. Sew to the correct side of the hood, and add a decorative white stitch in the tip (should be bobbles on the end, so really tiny pompoms would look cute if you have any too).

  3. Neck Ruff (just seen): Ch16 (or as many as you need to go round the neck) Row 1: 15sc starting in second chain from hook. Finish off leaving a long tail for sewing and sew in place.

  4. Wings: Make half a wing in black felt and half a wing in red felt. Join along the centre and sew/ glue in place. The group photo above shows a four way split in the wings, but I glue gunned the joins and they looked a mess, so I simplified after the shoot then forgot to retake the group shot. If you’re more patient than me and sew them, a four way split would look awesome.

  5. The mask is the same as Robins, but in black: CH7 Row 1: 6Sc starting in second chain from hook. [6] CH1 to turn. Row 2: 6Sc [6] CH1 to turn. Row 3: 6Sc [6] Finish leaving long tail for sewing. Once sewn on, sew two eyes in white yarn.

    Finishing: Sew on her nose and mouth in black wool/ embroidery thread.
