Unown (I,A,N)

COMPLETED: 65 GOAL: 649



I have a couple other Pokemon in the works, so I thought I would do something very simple to fill in while I finish the others. There are a lot of Unowns (one for each letter for the alphabet plus two), but they are essentually the same. The eye front and back pattern is the base pattern for all of them. I started with the letters I, A, N (the name of my son). The rest of the letters will follow as I finish them.

Materials: crochet hook, white and black yarn, cardboard

Eye front: (join rounds)
With black, 6 sc in magic circle (6)
Row 1: change to white, 2 sc in each sc around (12)
Row 2: sc next sc, 2 sc next sc, around (18)
Row 3: sc next 2 sc, 2 sc next sc, around (24)
Row 4: sc next 3 sc, 2 sc next sc, around (30)
