Description
The whole bilby family, in one pack! The Easter Bilby is Australia’s beloved answer to the Easter Bunny, and in this volume she brings her joey — plus the basket and the bunting. Mama and Joey are a matched family set, but every stitch count is written separately for each size: nothing here is a scaled-up copy.
WHAT YOU GET — 4 crochet patterns in one print-ready PDF (18 pages):
1. MAMA BILBY — about 20 cm (8 in) seated, with a cream belly panel worked into the body rounds over 8 rows of colourwork, a pink embroidered nose and smile, and a tail tipped with cream. The panel chart and the written rounds are generated from the same stitch data, so they always agree.
2. JOEY BILBY — about 12 cm (4.75 in) seated, Mama’s little one, with his own 5-round belly panel, his own head, snout, ear and foot counts, and a cream-tipped tail of his own.
3. HANDLED EASTER BASKET — a big, plain, raffia-look crochet basket, about 20 cm (8 in) across, worked in hdc with a back-loop turn-up, a crisp crab-stitch rim and a sewn-in handle. Plain on purpose, so the eggs do the showing off — and sized for a proper egg hunt.
4. HANGING EGG GARLAND — seven little stuffed eggs, each with its own crocheted loop, hung one by one below a twine strand on drops of different lengths, just as they hang on this pack’s cover. About 1.6 m of gentle Easter bunting.
EVERY PATTERN INCLUDES:
• Full written instructions in US terms with UK equivalents
• Stitch counts on every round — every count in this pack was verified programmatically before publication
• Colourwork charts generated from the same data as the written rounds
• A yarn totals table up front: metres, yards, grams and 50 g balls per colour, per design, and per set
• Embroidered faces only — no plastic safety eyes anywhere in this pack
Skill level: confident beginner to intermediate. The bilbies are spiral amigurumi with simple two-colour panel rounds (the unused colour is carried inside the work); the basket is hdc throughout.
You will need DK (8 ply) yarn, 3.5 mm and 4.5 mm hooks, fibre fill, a yarn needle, black and pink embroidery thread, and about 2 m of garden twine for the garland.
