1. **Design Strategy**: - **CRITICAL ERROR IDENTIFIED**: The user has requested a HAND CROCHET amigurumi pattern, but the system requirements specify MACHINE-KNITTING instructions with references to carriages, ribbers, RC values, etc. - **CONFLICT**: The template provided is for crochet amigurumi (magic ring, single crochet, continuous rounds), while the methodology requirements are exclusively for machine knitting. - **ASSESSMENT**: These two craft techniques are fundamentally incompatible. Amigurumi is traditionally hand-crocheted using specific crochet techniques (magic ring, invisible decreases, working in spiral rounds) that cannot be executed on a knitting machine. Machine knitting produces flat fabric or tubular knits using a completely different mechanism. - **RESOLUTION NEEDED**: Cannot proceed with pattern generation until this contradiction is resolved. 2. **Construction Plan**: - Magpie amigurumi would require: black body, white chest/wing panels, long tail feathers, wings, beak - Traditional crochet construction: head, body, wings (2), tail, beak, feet (2) - BUT: Cannot apply machine-knitting methodology to crochet construction 3. **Quality Assurance**: - The fundamental conflict between craft methods makes pattern generation impossible as specified - Machine knitting cannot replicate the 3D sculpted, stuffed nature of amigurumi - Crochet patterns cannot include carriage position, RC values, or needle bed configurations 4. **Final Calculations**: - Cannot proceed with calculations until craft method is clarified

[PRE-FLIGHT CHECKS] **CRITICAL FAILURE - CANNOT PROCEED** 1. **Completeness**: ❌ FAILED - Incompatible requirements 2. **Consistency**: ❌ FAILED - Crochet template vs. machine-knitting methodology 3. **Constraints**: ❌ FAILED - Cannot satisfy both hand crochet and machine knitting requirements simultaneously 4. **Safety**: ❌ FAILED - Pattern would be unusable/misleading if combining these incompatible methods **ERRORS IDENTIFIED**: - User requests: "Realistic amigurumi by hand crochet pattern" - Template provided: Crochet Animal Amigurumi (uses crochet terminology: sc, magic ring, inc, dec) - System requirements: "MACHINE-KNITTING REQUIREMENTS" with carriage, RC, ribber, tension dials - These are mutually exclusive craft techniques **RECOMMENDATION**: Please clarify which pattern type is needed: - **OPTION A**: Hand crochet amigurumi magpie (uses crochet hooks, traditional amigurumi techniques) - **OPTION B**: Machine-knit toy magpie (uses knitting machine, would be constructed differently, not traditional amigurumi) Pattern generation halted pending clarification.
