Crochet Camel Pattern Instruction

Set the heirloom on 3rd smallest settings.

Step 1. Crochet 2 loops each side with dc in the middle.

Step 2. 2 loops together as follows: 1 dc around 2 front loops, 1 dc around 2 back loops x 3, 1 dc around 2 front loops. Turn.

Step 3. In next 5 dc crochet: (1 dc, 1 htr, 1 tr, 1 dtr, 1 ttr) + ch 6, repeat step 2 other side. Turn.

Step 4. Repeat step 3, except DO NOT ch 6, INSTEAD sk ch 6 + ttr, 1 dc around dtr. Turn.

Step 5. Make 2 loops each side. Attach 1st loop by inserting hook into tr with a dc.

Repeat process 1-5 until you have 14 motifs each side. Remove work from the loom. Insert hook through 10 loops, pull together and create a circle. Use a sewing needle and fold remaining 3 motifs in half sideways and inwards. Fold the top motif to the sideway but outwards. Secure them with a stitch. Stitch the first folded motif to the first motif on the circle using a sewing needle. This will create the appearance of the neck of the camel.

Loops outer circle: Attach the 1 motif closest to the neck and the 1 motif closest to the circle through their loops wit a sl st + sc. Continue to crochet 2 motifs together through the loops with a sl st + sc. Fasten off.

Do not attach top motif of neck through loops. Instead, crochet as follows. Attach yarn at base of motif with a sl st. Crochet up motif to make top part of neck as follows: 4 htr, 3 tr, crochet 3 dc in last tr made, dc in sts until next corner. Crochet 3-ch picot in last st. Sc back to base of motif . Fasten off. Fold back and sl st 3-ch picot to next motif of the neck. This will create a chunky looking neck.
