Crochet Chatzu'kuan
As I said in my Dien crochet post, I was going to work on Chatzu’kuan next. I think she turned out alright. The dress is a bit baggy, but I was really winging it.
I wrote down some of my steps, but it gets really rough in parts and I don’t think they can be used 100% to recreate her haha. I used what I learned in making Dien and some CSI dolls by RusCreatureCreations to achieve Chatzu’kuan’s crochet form.
You can read through my rough steps below the pics.

Sew on
Dress and accessories
Just simple chains and keep going for proper width
Bottom part of dress then crochet up the shoulders and around back after sewing on (after attaching tail). Add some decoration.
I sewed the dress sides together around the tail so the tail stuck out of the dress.

Various pieces of art for/from Volume 2. Played with some new styles and brushes. I overall like the results.
Crochet Jurak
The crochet Jurak I made is BIG. I didn’t intend for him to be this big, but I’m bad with scale. As a result, he was hard to photograph. He was a beast to make too! Like with Chatzu’kuan, I took terrible notes/steps. I think what I consider BLO is actually FLO…so asterisk with that if you are trying to follow my instructions. {% include image-gallery.html gallery=page.gallery class=”half” %} Back legs Mr 4 Inc 4 Inc 2 sc 8 Inc...
