Easter Crochet-A-Long

Getting back into the swing of things - and nothing makes that easier than diving in head first and just going full stroke  (I've never been one to just tread water)...

There have been a ton of UFO's sitting around for the past 3 years.  As the hub would often tease, "my laboratory" looked more like a plushie chop shop.  Legs here, Arms there a Body left wherever...
So without further ado... let's do something with all those body parts..
an Easter Something...

Crochet Needle for sewing
Gallon Size Ziplock Bag to store your work

Special Stitches/Tutorials  to help you with this Pattern:

First of all, thank you for sharing this mystery pattern. I've nearly completed the first leg & just realized you don't say to fill it with fiberfill. Are the arms & legs left flat & unstuffed? Thanks for the help.
(((HUGS)))

you are very welcome :) and yes, stuff as you work - sorry about that - editing the pattern now for those who begin after you :)
(With no photos, sort of makes it difficult to see - *smile*)

I just started. Ajsgramma, glad you said something. I closed it off without filling assuming it was supposed to be flat. Again, without knowing what I am making I didn't know. Haha. This is my first CAL. Can't wait to see what we are making! :)

Hi Jenn, I am deeply sorry about that! All of my patterns have the blurb that I copied/pasted into the CAL above (after ajsgramma's question) on page 2 of the pattern. I learned a while ago never to assume, because everyone thinks differently - but in this instance I did a boo boo by omission. :(

I created a project page on Ravelry and pick my yarn. The main colour is a subtle variegated blue in one of my favourite yarns.
