While rummaging through my yarn stash a few days ago, I spotted a small ball of leftover sparkly white acrylic. I made a mental note to use that for either snowflakes or stars for my tree this year.
But when I spied this little white swan on Pinterest I immediately knew that this is what that remnant of yarn was meant for!
Here is the link for the free pattern! http://littlegreen.typepad.com/romansock/
This little bird works up fairly quickly. I had the body and neck finished within an hour. However, I ran into some serious frustration with the wings and ended up 'winging' it so to speak as I just could not figure out the pattern. It's probably my own fault since a diagram of the stitches was included as well as the written instructions and pictures. I have never been good at reading and understanding diagrams. So I do not fault the pattern. But I was still able to make the wings look OK.
I think this little swan will look fantastic on my whimsy tree, especially when the lights hit the sparkles.
I would love to know what you think of this little swan and if you are taking part in my little crochet-a-long Christmas ornament project.
Blessings!
Reny
