Materials Needed

• Yarn
• Crochet hook
• Tapestry needle
• Scissors
• Liquid silicone glue for assembling
• Decoration (optional, e.g., dove, pearl)
• Keyring and/or earring ring for hanging

Pattern Overview

Magic Ring Start

• Create a magic ring.
• Chain 3 (this counts as your first elongated double crochet).
• Make 3 elongated double crochets inside the magic ring.

Creating the Arms of the Crucifix

• Chain 3.
• Inside the same magic ring, make 4 elongated double crochets.
• Repeat the process of chaining 3 and making 4 elongated double crochets until you have four groups, each separated by 3 chains.

Closing the Circle

• Close the magic ring by slip stitching into the third chain of the initial chain-3.
• Tighten the magic ring to secure.

Building the Next Layers

• Transition to the next space by slip stitching.
• Chain 3 and make 3 elongated double crochets in the same space.
• Chain 3, then perform a spike stitch in the corresponding spot (outside the last stitch).

Repeating the Pattern

• In the same space, make another 4 elongated double crochets.
• Chain 3 and slip stitch in the same space.
• Continue this pattern for all spaces, ensuring you replicate the layout symmetrically for all arms of the crucifix.

Finalizing the Shape

• After completing all sides, fasten off the yarn and weave in the ends using a tapestry needle.
• For the color-changing technique, follow the narrative provided in the scrap to change colors seamlessly between rows.

Assembling and Decoration

• If making a double-sided crucifix, create another piece following the same pattern.
• Use liquid silicone glue to attach both pieces together.
• Decorate with your choice of ornament (e.g., dove, pearl) by gluing it to the center or desired location on the crucifix.
• Attach a keyring to the top of the crucifix for hanging. Alternatively, use a ring from an earring to serve as the hanging loop.
