I spent lockdown learning more about crochet as I am self taught the basics, but then I thought to try a pattern and I am so thrilled I made Petra Perle's Hedwig in my own colour way after downloading the pattern it was hard going some times but I learned much. I am sure my 12 yr old granddaughter will love this in her Christmas stocking. Im on the look out now for my next project thank you so much.
