Itty Bitty Vulture is ready to leer at you from any vantage point.

He’s worked in the round (written for double pointed needles) and though the pictured legs are crocheted, instructions for i-cord legs and how to embroider a wattle are included. The largest amount of yarn you’ll need is for his body: about 25 yards.

He’s fiddly and tiny, but this kind of careless carrion charm takes time to perfect.
