Special Crochet Techniques

Crochet in Spiral Rounds:

Work the body and the lower part of the beak in spiral rounds (do not turn, do not join). Use

a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round. Move the marker up each time you

start a new round.

Crochet in Rows:

Work all single parts of the wings, the tail feathers and the upper part of the beak in rows.

When you crochet rows, you need to turn your work, make one turning chain, if the next

row starts with a sc or a hdc and make two turning chains, if the next row starts with a dc.

The turning chain(s) does/do not count as stitch unless specified in the text.

Tapestry Crochet

Tapestry crochet is similar to regular crochet, except that one or more yarns are usually

carried while another is crocheted.

Tapestry crochet is often used when crocheting in the round, because it is nice to be able to

work all your color changes from the same side of the work.

Crochet the head of the parrot in tapestry crochet by using 2 colors. Carrying the second

color along top of single crochet being worked in. I do not carried the yarn over every single

crochet stitches, but over every second /third stitches. This technique creates floats (strands

of yarn) across the wrong side of the work but it will be less visible on the right side of the

work.

But you can also use tapestry crochet when crocheting ordinary flat rows that are turned at

the end of each row.

The upper part of the beak is worked in flat tapestry crochet, because this piece is worked in

flat (back and forth) rows.

Changing Color in Continuous Rounds

Work to the point where there are two loops of the last stitch before the color change

remaining on the hook. Drop the old color; yarn over and complete the stitch with the new

color.

Changing Color in Rows

Proceed the same as with

“Changing

Color in Continuous Rounds“.

But note that you have all working yarns on one side (= the wrong side) of the crochet piece.

Slst work completely.

Front/Back Post Stitches

You will use front/back post

stitches for the middle and

bottom parts of the wings.

When crocheting a fp- or a bp-

stitch around the post of a hdc

do not insert hook in the gaps

by the yellow arrow in fig. 3.
