Murdock the Kelpie | Video Tutorial
Murdock the Kelpie pattern has been updated and completely rewritten!
I left the video tutorial up for those of you who have the old pattern.
The new pattern can be found here.
Enjoy!
The video is broken into two parts because — well, frankly — it’s really long.
The first part covers the head, nostrils, eyebrows, ears, and neck and attaching the head to the neck.
The second part is the tail, tail fins, neck and tail spines, and legs, as well as attachments for those parts.
All video tutorials are designed to accompany the free written pattern. The video is not to be considered a complete stand-alone pattern.
