An order from the amazing, wonderful, incredible A. , here's a little Alan Breck Stewart inspired by David MacCallum's portrayal of him in the TV series "Kidnapped": [link] (One day I'll make the horses as well, but not yet. )
This dashing gentleman has a lot to brag! :swoon: From his embroidered vest and coat to his gorgeous tricorn hat, from his lace necktie to the pony tail you can't see here , he was a delight to make! Also his cloak has a tiny snap button hidden under one of the grey felt circles on the chain, so it easily removable for a dramatic scene.
Thank you, darling! I crocheted a simple chain (pretty much all I know about crochet...) and then stitched it down. It felt better than the stiff store-bought silver greek trim I had originally planned for it.
It looks like it in the end, but it has a bit more body than the embroidery, I think. When I was little my mom taught me a few cute stitches, both in knitting and crochet, but now I can barely remember the most basic things... Thank heavens for Youtube tutorials, that's all I can say!

PS: Are they done?
