— Notes & Techniques :
Infos :
I noticed that some velvet yarns are bulkier, like Bernat Velvet. In this case use 5 mm crochet hook. Invisible dec: Insert your hook into the front loop for the next stitch. Yarn over (yo) and draw the yarn through the stitch. Insert your hook into the front loop for the next stitch. Yarn over (yo) and draw the yarn through the stitch. Yarn over and draw the yarn through all 3 loops on your hook. The instructions between ( ) are a sequence of stitches that need to be worked the amount of times indicated next. For example, (sc in the next 2 stitches, sc inc) x 6, means that you need to crochet 6 times the sequence of single crochet in the next 2 stitches and make a single crochet increase in the third stitch. The number between [ ] is the amount of stitches at the end of each round. Using this particular yarn or similar i prefer to chain 2 and work the first Round in the first chain.
— Optional Support :
Info :
Optional: You can look for something to help the head stay up. I used 3 plastic coffee stirrers tied together with some pieces of yarn that I already had at home.
This adorable Disy the Bear was designed to be soft, quick to make, and utterly huggable.🧶
