Difficulty Level: Easy/Intermediate
Materials needed to create a 3 in (7.5 cm) tall ornament:
- WeCrochet Shine Sport Yarn
- DMC 6-Strand Embroidery Floss in 3031, 725 & 971 (or you can use orange & yellow felt in place of the 725 & 971)
- 2.75mm Crochet Hook
- Scissors
- Darning Needle
- Locking Stitch Markers (Optional)
- Pins
- Polyfil Stuffing or Scrap Yarn
- 24 Gauge Floral Wire (Optional)
- Wire Cutter (Optional)
- Fast Drying Tacky Glue, I’m using Aleene’s Tacky Glue (Optional)
I used WeCrochet Shine Sport Yarn to create these ornaments, but you can use any yarn as long as you correspond your hook to the weight of your yarn. The red lantern in the cover photo is made with Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran (with a 3.5mm hook, working the yarn under sc), but the pattern will be worked in the Shine Sport yarn.
List of Colours I Used
Lantern pictured in the tutorial: 6g of Macaw, 2g of Platinum, and a little bit of Coffee.
