​Blue Bells Crochet Toy

Materials:

Medium weight yarn (I used Red Heart)

Crochet hook (5.00mm H hook)

Toilet paper tube (I used 1/2 a roll for the small cat toy and a full roll for the large toy)

Bell

Needle and thread

Darning Needle to weave in ends

Scissors

Instructions:

Ch = chain, sl st = slip stitch, dc = double crochet (All U.S.)

(Ch) 20, join with (sl st) to form ring (keeping tension firm but not tight – you want both ends to be a little tighter so they hug around the toilet paper tube). Make sure to not to twist your stitches.

(Ch) 2 in first chain and then (dc) in each remaining stitch in round. (Sl st) in last stitch in round to join. Repeat for 7 rounds for 1/2 toilet paper roll size toy or 11 rounds for full toilet paper roll.

Finish off last round with 1 (sl st) in each stitch and join.

Ch 30 then make 2 (dc) in the 3rd chain from the hook. (If you’d like a longer curlicue than make the chain longer).

Make 3 (dc) in each chain until you get back to the start of the chain. (Sl st) to join. Fasten off and weave in ends.

Sew bell on end of curlicue.

Fit over toilet paper roll.

Very clever use of an item we sometimes struggle to recycle?, and the kitties will have hours of fun! Thanks for a good idea!

I closed the top and bottom off and included a bell inside the tube.
