STEP 2



STEP 3 (Croc.2 & go around again)

STEP 4

Use a "marking ring" to know where you started.  You can add a few Croc. to add another row, & go around again.  This will make a fuller, puffy flower petal.

Crochet & Craft friends~ I am working on my flower designs & will be posting them in the near future.  Spring has Sprung, & I'm thinking, "Flower Power!"  Please check back again.  God Bless!

OCTOPUS YARN CRITTERS-lrg. & mini.

HOW TO:

Mini: Make a small ball of yarn in your hand (this is a good way to use little bits of leftover yarn!)  Tie it together to form a "head."  The face is a foam sticker, cut into small pieces & attached with sticky part.

Cut up long strands of yarn (all same length) so you have at least 3 pieces for each of the 8 legs.  Push the ends of the sets of strands into the yarn under the head, all around it.  Braid 3 together & secure with a twist tie (saved from bread/rolls) or whatever.  Do it all way around.  Use your imagination & create your very own octo critter!  (idea:  give one away to a sick person, nursing home guests, or put in your Operation Christmas Child boxes)

Large Octopus Critter:

Use a med-lrg ball of yarn for the head.  Yarn needle to stitch the face on.  Felt & a pom pom for the hat.

LEGS:  Make 8 Foundation rows using 2 color yarns tied together, and a 10mm hook.  Finished size is 10 in. long.  Push through yarn to attach & tie onto critter in  circle pattern,  all around the head.
