Meet the Orphan Emu chicks. They have just cracked out of their shells to explore the great outdoors.
An Emu is a flightless bird that are native to Australia. The egg shells are a distinctive grey blue and are often prized as carved eggs. Real emu eggs are about 15cm or 6inches long. Emus can be farmed as the oil is used in toiletries.
This pattern set includes full instructions for making a crocheted Emu Chick and egg shell which can be filled with Easter goodies. How about a different sort of Easter chick? Why should the chickens have all the attention? The emu is worked in 8ply, double knit or worsted weight yarn using a 4mm hook. Emu can also sit in her shell, and is 6inches or 15cm tall. I just love these guys as they are a bit quirky.
Instructions are provided in both Australian/ English and American terms. Patterns will be emailed to you in a pdf format. There are no shipping costs.
