US Crochet Terms - Abbreviations

This pattern is written using US Crochet Terms - they are NOT the same as UK ones! If you usually use UK terms, please familiarise yourself with the US terms to avoid your character’s shape distorting.

The “sc” abbreviation used in this pattern refers to US single crochet. The equivalent stitch in UK terms is known as double crochet - if you are used to UK patterns you need to work UK double crochet everywhere this pattern says “sc”.

​You can find a UK Terms version of the pattern HERE.

Let's get crocheting!...

In this part you'll be making Walter's Rear Flippers, Muzzle, Tusk, Eyes and Nose.

Don't forget - it's best to make all the pieces first before sewing anything together - full Making Up instructions will be included in Part Three, available on Feb 12th 2023.
