Anna's Hummingbird - Free Pattern

-

I decided to base the markings for this pattern on the Anna's hummingbird, which is very common where I live. I always hear them screaming from the tops of trees and see them chasing each other around on my walks around town, so I wanted to have my own tinier version at home! If you enjoyed this pattern, make sure to check out my junco and chickadee patterns as well!

    Hello!!!! I'm almost finished with this, but I found something you may want to check.
    On 13. [(3 sc, dec) x2, 2sc], {sc, dec, 3 sc, dec} [sc 3, dec, 2 sc] (26)
    It should be repeat the first ( ) X3, not 2. Then it works fine. Thank you!
    Also, do you have an Instagram account?

    Also on the wings, just a suggestion, but since you are doing round 3 , 2 times, maybe renumber your pattern so it's 3 do 12, then 4 do 12, then number the rest 4, 5, 6 , 7. More consistant with how patterns are usually written. Might help newbies a bit more. :)

Raccoon - Free Pattern

Raccoons are one of the cutest North American animals, in my opinion! Some regions even have blonde ones that are super cute, too! This raccoon pattern has a lot of colour changes for the head part, so it can be a little tricky to manage. The rest is relatively straightforward, so don't let the colour changes deter you! I promise the result is worth it!
