This section is to show various finishing options for the recently published pattern, Crochet Christmas Robin.
Depending on how much time you wanted to allocate into making the robins or your level of expertise, I wanted to show you different options so as not to be intimidated by the pattern and give them a go.
The yarn used was Sirdar Happy cotton, colours were – 761 Off White, 777 Brown, 774 Grey, 794 Yellow, 791 Red.
Option 1 – The first option is to make the robin without wings or a hat, it still looks good and definitely resembles a robin. Hang them as they are and be proud of your makes, this is probably the quickest option if you wanted to make alot of them.
Option 2 – If you don’t like the idea of the white stitching and worry about the neatness, sew the belly with red yarn, still looks just as good.!
Option 3 – My design shows one brown wing and one grey wing, use whatever you have in your stash. The image below shows the option with wings and no hat, still looking good !
Option 4 – If the crochet belly is fiddly for you or you want a quicker version sew on a piece of red felt instead – the image below shows red felt version with the hat..
Because of the holes in crochet its perfect for threading ribbon/thread through the hat to make a hanging ornament.
Most of all enjoy making and have fun with them.
