Meadow Mystery CAL Part 2
🌿 Welcome Back to the Meadow Mystery CAL – Part 2
Welcome back to the Meadow Mystery Crochet Along! If you’re joining us again, your project is already starting to take shape — and Meadow is quietly settling into the meadow, just as he likes it.
This CAL is released part by part, so we’re building the full character and story together, one gentle step at a time.
In this installment, we’ll continue adding to Meadow with clear written instructions, step-by-step photos, and a video tutorial to guide you along. You’ll also uncover the next small moment in the story… because while Meadow remains perfectly calm, something playful is beginning to stir nearby.
So grab your yarn and hook, find a comfy spot, and let’s continue with Part 2 of the meadow adventure 🌿✨

Part 2 – Meadow Takes Shape
In this part, you’ll shape the snout directly from the top of the head — no sewing involved.
If you’ve seen this technique before, this is where it really clicks. If it’s new to you, don’t worry — take it slow and let the shaping do the work.
This section may look simple in colour, but it’s big on form. As the stitches build up, you’ll start to see your mystery creature come alive, one curve at a time.
But while Meadow remains blissfully unaware, someone else is nearby… Pickles the Tiny Bunny has been quietly hopping around the meadow, watching, waiting, and perhaps planning a little mischief of her own.
So grab your yarn, get comfy, and let’s continue building Meadow’s story, one stitch at a time 🌼
👉 Don’t forget to share your progress with the hashtag #MeadowMysteryCAL — it’s such a joy seeing Meadow come to life in everyone’s hands!
