Murdock the Kelpie

"Murdock is a kelpie, or a mythical Scottish water horse. They are similar to mermaids, except they live in the lochs of Scotland. Similar to the Greek hippocampus, the kelpie is the more sinister version of the legend. A kelpie is as strong as 10 horses and if you touch one, it can drag you back into the loch. But not our Murdock. Murdock is a peaceful soul. The pattern is fun, challenging, and uses short rows for shaping in the tail. Enjoy!"
