bonjour , je viens de terminer Pedro le perroquet !! merci pour tous ces modèles magnifiques
ik wil de papagaai haken maar graag in het nederlands beschreven!
Sehr schön und lieb Danke für die Anleitung
so pretty work
what brand of yarn do you use…can’t find the super fine weight that isn’t all pastels
You can use any acrylic baby yarn.
Alle sind soooo süß. Tolle Arbeit – da krabbelt es in den Händen sie alle zu häkeln.
Could I use a slightly larger needle and yarn? Like a 3.5mm and worsted weight yarn?
Yes, but your toy will be bigger 🙂
How do you make that red thing around the head?
