[BPK] chill crochet

Snow covered the floor. It was early January, so the frosty season was still lingering. Sova was sitting on one of the benches at Bark Park, snow covered bushes to his back. He loved the icy weather, his thick fur protecting him from the cold. He had a small, orangey satchel bag plopped next to him, filled to the brim with various wintery coloured yarns: blues, greys, white, and some orange for the various burning fires for heat at this time of year. The grass was starting to become visible under the white blanket, as the daytime sun broke through the clouds, melting the flakes that had settled on the field. Birds chirped in the sky as they started to wake up to the light. Squirrels skittered around the trees looking for their stash. It was a lovely day, despite the breeze that most other pups would find chilly. 

Naya had come to the park to relax and chill out. He had been working on a little crochet husky teddy, with a little scarf, making the individual pieces ready to stitch and stuff with plush filling. It had a little grey body with blue swirls all over, a white underbelly and a full, fluffy face pattern, white cheeks and all. Its eyes were a deep, icy blue, piercing and bright, but comforting. Sova was crocheting the plush for a friend, a gift for friendship day. The little toys scarf was orange and brown, burning like a campfire, just something to be looped on and not stitched in place. 

Naya’s creamy fur blended in with the snow and mud, his brown parts with dark spotting matching the trees and dead bushes behind him. He looked completely at home and in his element. He sat, completely peaceful, weaving a little grey arm pattern to add to the completion of his project. Pupps played and went on walks in the distance, traveling around the grounds like coloured silhouettes. The trees blew above him, their leaves rustling in the winter breeze. Sova’s snow flecking split out into the air above him with the sudden, stronger gusts this season always contains. He nestled into his homemade orange, knitted scarf which was wrapped around his neck, the loops warming his face. 

This leg was the final piece before he stitched it together with wool. He created the separate parts, stuffing them all carefully with thick, soft cotton. The individual body parts began to took safe: it was finally time to put them all together. He gently put them together to see how they fit, before starting to stitch the cotton-filled pieces to the main body, completing the teddy. The husky smiled up at him, its little face ready for features addition. He pulled out a thick needle, and started sewing eyes into the crochet with thick yarn. Shortly after, he has finished the adorable toy, which turned out incredibly soft and beautifully textured by his tight, experienced crochet technique. Sova had practiced crochet for years, becoming somewhat professional at his work. He absolutely could sell these at a stand. They took a while anyway, so he only did them for friends.
