Frequently asked questions
What can it hold?
It is sized for one or two eggs, or as a small earbud-case pouch; the pattern gives a 120-ch neck cord and a shorter 38-ch case cord.
Is it worked flat or in the round?
Each panel starts from a magic ring in hdc and is turned to work rows, then the comb, beak and wattle are added onto the edging round.
