A funny fluffy White Rooster with big blue eyes, a long beige beak, a red comb and wattle, long wire legs and a colourful knitted striped scarf – add little glasses for a wise old professor look! The wire frame lets him sit, stand or cross his legs. A charming gift and a cheerful farmhouse or Easter decoration.
A pattern by Galina Astashova with step-by-step instructions and photos. The rooster is crocheted in fluffy yarn, needle sculpted and brushed up; the scarf is knitted.
