Little Snowball
LITTLE SNOWBALL
So cute! These just need to be part of your winter decorations this year!
Make one, or multiple. With hanger, or without. Put them on your key-chain, hang them on a fir branch, or simply place them all over the house. :)
Put them on a small slice of wood, add some additional wintery items and you end up with a cute little giveaway.
The hat is perfect to make good use of your scrap-yarn pile.
And on top of that they work up pretty fast!
What’s not to love? :)
All steps are explained in detail in words and pictures, so this pattern is suitable for (practiced) beginners as well.
The pattern contains 6 pages of crochet instructions and 10 pages of additional step-by-step instructions.
Used techniques (US crochet terms): magic ring, chain, slip stitch, single crochet, double crochet, increases and (invisible) decreases, changeing yarn-color (optional).
The Snowball is crocheted in continuous rounds/spirals, the hat is done in closed rounds and the arms & feet back and forth in rows.
With 2.0 mm hook and Sport weight yarn the Snowball gets to be 4.5 x 5.0 cm tall (without hanger).
You need it smaller or bigger? No problem! Simply use lighter or heavier yarn.
The size of the safety-eyes needs to be adjusted accordingly then.
