A Leprechaun chocolate truffle/ferrero roche cover just right for a bit of St Patrick’s day fun. You may even be able to fill him with a chocolate coin or to, although I haven’t tried.

There are a few options available for this pattern so please read through first. Options & changes in yarn colour are given in italics mainly, unless I’ve missed it. If you want to try loop st then YouTube has some tutorials - thats how I learnt it!

You only need some scraps of dk/8ply yarn. I used acrylic but am not suggesting anything specific here. Its entirely upto you.

I crochet in quite a ‘fluid’ fashion so if you find your Leprechaun is on the slim side then add a few extra increases as mentioned on the pattern or maybe change up a hook size for the body.

I’ve tested this pattern out a couple of times & get the same result but if you find any mistakes then please pm me :O)

I appreciate any feedback you want to give.
