Edit: Adding colours in here too, but not adjusting weights.
(Used 3g each of purple & petrol blue, also 2g each of green & yellow)

Need to mirror the 2nd square to make a chicken, but it’s tricky because it’s NOT SYMMETRICAL!!! It’s driving me crazy…

Mar 1, 2025

Still tearing my hair out trying to figure out the mirror image version. Have had to adjust a few sts to make sure there isn’t a tr next to a sc (for example). It wasn’t as easy as just swapping the 2 ‘taller’ corners - unfortunately :(

Mar 2, 2025

Added R5 in hdc, then R6 in sc.

Whole mirrored square is not brilliant, but I’ll put up with it as a chicken.

March 7, 2025

Assembled the chicken. Needed to thread spare yarn through some of the taller stitches, to ensure the eyes didn’t fall through. Used an inner to stop the stuffing from showing too.
