MC- Magic circle
SC- Single crochet
SC INC- Single crochet increase
INV DEC- Invisible decrease
St(s)- Stitch(es)
Ch – Chain
Finished swan measures approximately 15 inches tall.
Notes:
– Slowly stuff as you go, you want it to be firm but not stretched. I recommend stuffing the body before crocheting the neck.
– You will be working in the round; I like to use a stitch marker at the beginning of each round.
– The body and head will be made as one piece. I recommend tight stitches and firm stuffing to help avoid a wobbly neck.
