Due to the success of last Easter’s crochet along, we are hosting a brand new CAL for 2021 – and this time you will be making Callahan the Yokohama Rooster! Each day we will be crocheting a small part of the pattern and you can join Kerry on Instagram Live, where she will give you a preview of any techniques that are used on that day. By the end, you will have made this brilliant bird from the crest on his head to the tip of his toes, and we look forward to seeing your progress along the way. Make sure you’re following TOFT on Instagram (@toft_uk) and share your progress on #edsCALlahan.

Callahan the Yokohama Cockerel is a beginner crochet amigurumi pattern based on Kerry Lord’s range of Edward’s Menagerie animals.
