This crochet pattern booklet is a 17 page set of patterns, an excerpt from Susan's Birds. Three basic thread crochet patterns are included: a sparrow with no extended wing, a side-view bird with an outstretched wing, and a dove in flight with two extended wings. Use them for appliques, gift tags, ornaments, and more!
You will need no. 10 crochet thread and an assortment of steel thread crochet hooks (sizes 1-4 U.S.), and, if you wish, heavier crochet threads or lightweight yarns and a size F aluminum crochet hook (U.S.)
You'll need to know these stitches: slip stitch, chain, single crochet, double crochet, triple crochet, and a long single crochet stitch which is easy and is explained and shown in a link to a video.
The pattern set includes notes, abbreviations, lots of photos, and, of course, the crochet instructions themselves.
