#472 Gliscor

While I'm on a small roll right now, I also have a gliscor pattern that I've been holding onto for a few months now.

I wrote this particular pattern back when I had a little more time so I have more photos than in my more recent postings.

I then cut 7 pipe cleaners and crochet little tubes of black to cover each one. Then I would sew the pipe cleaners on the wing to each of the black points and along the wing to give it raised definition, also use this thread to sew the gaps of the points to the wings where the skip stitches are. 

I would then use the thread from each of these sections to weave through and sew to the halfway points between each wing point. Then pull tight. This pulls the midpoints between each wing tight and make it look more wing like. 

My pipe cleaner tubes are:

Round 1: CH2, SCx6 in the 2nd stitch from the hook (6)

Round 2 - ??: SCx6 

Just keep crocheting around until the tube is long enough to cover the pipe cleaner.

Use the leftover purple thread from the collar piece to sew to the wing.

Round 7 - ??: SCx18 (18, ?? rounds)

From round 7 just keep crocheting in the round until this piece fits up the back of the purple collar part. The point up to about round 4 should cover some of the black wing part. Stuff lightly and flatten a little so that it only sticks out slightly and sew onto the back collar.
