Product Details

The Kelpie, sometimes called a “water horse” is a shape-shifting water spirit of Scottish legend. The Loch Ness Monster has been referred to as a “kelpie” because he is a water spirit haunting the loch. They are a symbol of power, as they were said to have the strength and endurance of 10 horses. And if you touched a kelpie, you could never let go, and it would drag you into the water, never to be seen again.

His assembly is rather unique. While short rows are nothing new to crochet (they are great for socks!) you see less of them worked in the round — “Short rounds,” if you will. These short rounds give Murdock the gently curve of his tail as well as the sharp corners of his knees.

I think you will find that this technique for curving work in the round will be a very useful addition to your toolbox.
