This pattern contains English description of crocheting the Candlestick toucan.

Toy stand independently. I stuffed the base of the candlestick with granulate for greater stability, you can add some grits, small pebbles or something else that can make the base heavier. And I decided to sew the toucans, but you can make them removable, for example, with Velcro or buttons.

The pattern is in PDF format and consists of 14 pages.
