So what is a Schmoo?

Schmoo are mythical critters that bring you happiness and good luck. Once you create a schmoo, you can add various embellishments to make it your own unique critter. They make unforgettable gifts and are always the center of attention. Once you hold a schmoo in your hand, you will never want to be without it. Schmoo are small and can be carried in your bag to keep you company. (7beads.com)

Pattern is worked in the round with thread alone and adding pre-strung beads into crochet stitches where and as directed. Some rows are with beads and others without. No gauge specified, it’s not critical. Pattern suggests a range of steel crochet hooks, #11, 9, or 7, for loose/medium/tight crocheters. If stitches are loose enough for beads to fall through, tighten up by working through both halves of stitch. Fully customize your Schmoo by adding the features and appendages of your choice.
