Description
With his calico coat peeking out beneath a fluttering cape, this traveling bard moves wherever the music leads. He doesn't chase grand stages - only warm fires, friendly faces, and a moment to share a song. His vest shirt and bloomer pants are worn from the road, his feathered hat tipped with confidence, and his lute on his back as he journeys through the land, turning every stop along the way into a story worth remembering.

Pattern skill level: Advanced- some may find the several color changes in this pattern difficult.

This pattern includes:
A calico cat design with sewing of the ears and tail
Loose-fitting bloomers pants with tie strings (with an alternative for friends with no tail)
A front/back tie vest
A flowy cape
A feathered hat
A simple lute with a shoulder strap

-------------------------
This pattern is a part of the Springtime Friends series.

This pattern contains several color changes in one round.
This pattern was created by a left-handed crocheter; therefore, right-handed crocheters may find that the color changes appear mirrored.
This pattern includes some photos mirrored to help with the issue above.
