Meadow Mystery CAL Part 7
🌿 Welcome Back to the Meadow Mystery CAL – Part 7
With Meadow’s body and limbs complete, he’s finally standing steady in the meadow — and now it’s time for the details that truly bring him to life. In this part, we’ll be working on Meadow’s finishing touches, using simple shapes to add character and personality where it matters most.
You’ll have the usual step-by-step instructions, photos, and a video tutorial to guide you through this section.
So grab your yarn and hook — we’re almost at the finish line now 🌼✨

Part 6 – Near the End!
For this part, we’re putting a curved cone shape to work — a simple form that’s incredibly versatile for animal details like horns.
As you build it, pay attention to how the curve develops. Small changes in shaping here make a big difference to the final character.
We’re nearly at the finish line now, with just the last details left to bring everything together. Take your time with this section — it’s one of those finishing touches that really completes the look.
👉 Remember to share your progress with the hashtag #MeadowMysteryCAL — it’s such a joy seeing Meadow take shape in so many different ways!
