Hi, ladies!
I want to share very simple pattern how you can decorate your houses.
To begin, chain 2. The first round is worked out of the first chain.
Round 1: work 6 dc into the first
chain (count 6!)
Round 2: work 2dc into each dc of the first round
(count 12!)
Rounds 3, 4 & 5: work 1 dc
into each dc of the previous round, ie three rounds of 12 stitches (count 36!
Keep counting!
At this point, your Little Ball
should resemble a miniature beanie hat that sits on the end of your finger.
This is where the Cute sets in.
Now stuff. Get a small bobble of
toy stuffing or a blob of cotton wool and stuff it into your Little Ball. It
will misbehave, it will try to escape. Use the end of your hook (the non hooky
end) to push it into place. Be firm.
Round 6: (skip 1 stitch, dc into
next stitch) 6 times. In other words, work 1 dc into every alternate stitch
around. Watch your tension, keep your stitches nice and tight and you should
find that the crochet gathers in nicely around the stuffing to leave a very
small hole. Make a couple of slip stitches to close the hole completely, and
finish off.
