Kieran le Corbeau (Crochet)

He’s turned out to be the star of my fall mantelpiece — the wing shaping in the pattern is so well explained that even my third attempt at crochet amigurumi looks neat. I’ve already queued up another one as a gift, the instructions really do walk you through every stitch.

The step-by-step illustrations made this pattern a breeze to follow, even for my first time crocheting an animal. Kieran’s finished size is perfect for perching on my bookshelf for Halloween.

Kieran turned out even more charming than the photos suggested, and the step-by-step illustrations made every round of crocheting feel foolproof. He’s already perched on my mantelpiece with a tiny pumpkin, stealing the show for Halloween.
