Print

  1. Step 1: The ball of yarn

    In the middle draw one big round circle, as wide as your hand. Leave room on the right.

  2. Step 2: Two big eyes

    In the middle of the ball draw 2 big egg eyes. Colour a black dot in each, leaving a shine.

  3. Step 3: Big smile

    Under the eyes draw a wide open smile like a D on its back. Add a tongue and 2 cheeks.

  4. Step 4: Yarn over the top

    Start on the ball's left edge. Curve over above the eyes to the right edge. Add a second strand below.

  5. Step 5: Yarn under the chin

    Start on the left edge below the cheek. Curve under the smile to the right edge. Add another below.

  6. Step 6: Yarn round the sides

    Between the top and bottom strands, draw 2 curves down the left side. Do the same on the right.

  7. Step 7: The crochet hook

    From low down, draw a long stick leaning on the ball's right side, with a tiny J hook on top.

  8. Step 8: Loose strand

    Start on the ball's right edge, below the middle. Draw a loose strand wiggling out, stopping low on the hook.

  9. Step 9: Ground line

    Start low on the ball's left edge. Draw a ground line out left, then one out right to the hook.

  10. Step 10: Wood hook, pink cheeks

    Colour the crochet hook wood brown. Colour the cheek ovals and the tongue pink.

  11. Step 11: Purple yarn

    Colour the whole ball of yarn purple around the pink cheeks and the mouth. Leave the eyes white.

  12. Step 12: Black mouth

    Colour the inside of the mouth black, leaving the pink tongue, and your crochet is ready!
