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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI think you will find that this technique for curving work in the round will be a very useful addition to your toolbox.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independent Designer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56747992777082,"sku":"UPID144751","price":7.1,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/3219\/4170\/files\/9de7b866ad6215759a2b5f9338d388159d5f2728_UPID144751_172863991442621.jpg?v=1775889313","url":"https:\/\/www.lovecrafts.com\/en-au\/products\/murdock-the-kelpie-crochet-pattern-by-kati-brown","provider":"LoveCrafts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
