Is the first crochet stitch for the chicken head the one called the Magic Ring stitch as in Amigurumi ? I would like to do those but don’t know that stitch. I would love to do one of those dolls.. I appreciate the patterns you show and I plan to do the rooster applique.
Thank you
Viola
Yes, it is the same.
I am struggling with round 2 on the body. Where do I insert my hook after the chain 3 to do the HDC DC, first stitch of the chain I just made or first stitch of the heart?
You need to insert the hook into the first stitch of the heart.
Do you have appli. For the people silhouettes or kids? My mom had a boy and girl years ago. Thanks
I am sorry, I don’t have appliques for the people silhouettes.
