Matty the "Macaw"

Description

At the jungle’s heart, atop in a twisted sycamore-shroom strung with red yarn and suspects, a suspicious macaw spies on the forest floor. This is Mathew, “lead detective of the jungle quadrant.” He repeatedly squawks that “it’s all connected,” but the case is classified. The clues? Sparkling eggs, a tuft of purple fur, and a group calling themselves the Birbs. Perhaps he’s read one too many mystery novels… or perhaps those googly eyes are onto something after all.

Louie Note

This pattern was especially difficult to design, but somehow it all came together in such a fun way! From the wings to the beak, this design involves some fun challenges, and while the color changes and special stitches can be tricky, I’m very proud of the way this colorful critter worked out.

  1. There is no number of stitches for the beak chain, also the mini bobble stitch is normally done with three loops, but in the video it is done with four, which should be specified in the instructions, I had to redo the entire head…
