Inside Crochet, Issue 20, August, 2011
Pattern
Feather in Your Cap
Adding fabulous flair to fedoras, cloches, berets, bike helmets, cowgirl hats, highland balmorals, bags and backpacks and more, these extravagant feathers pay homage to the Black Grouse, a declining species in the UK. Two feather shapes are included in the pattern, designed by a wildlife biologist to mimic the size and shape of the Black Grouse’s extravagant tail feathers.
To discover how you can help the Black Grouse and other British birds, visit the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds at http://www.rspb.org.uk/. To help birds in the US, visit The Audubon Society at http://conservation.audubon.org and http://policy.audubon.org/take-action. Throughout the rest of the world, visit http://www.birdlife.org/regional/index.html.
This pattern uses UK crochet terminology, which is translated to US crochet terminology in the back of the magazine.
