You can place it in woodland, cottage core, or nature- themed décor setups, and add to handmade gift boxes for a playful touch.

The post Cute Spring Watering Can Free Pattern appeared first on Yarn Gems.

This tutorial includes instructions on how to crochet the two peanut parts and the shell (it is worked both in rounds and in rows) and how to join all pieces together. You can customize the pattern by using different colors or by adding a small smile, so your peanuts can all look a little different.

Materials needed are a 2.5 mm crochet hook and 4-ply size 2 yarn in three colors, stuffing, a yarn needle, and safety eyes.

This pattern is a great choice for nature or forest-themed decor, as a toy, or as a handmade gift for peanut and nature lovers.

Designer: FloeCreation Crochet

Materials

• 2.5 mm crochet hook
• 60% cotton + 40% acrylic 4-ply size 2 (sport weight) yarn in colors:
• Pink, light brown, cream
• Stuffing
• Yarn needle
• Scissors
• 5 mm safety eyes
• Stitch marker

Size: 4 cm x 9 cm

Abbreviations

Mr – magic ring
sc – single crochet
dc – double crochet
hdc – half double crochet
inc – increase
dec – decrease
ch – chain
sl st – slip stitch
[…] – crochet in the same stitch
(…) – repeat … n times
dc-dec – make 1 unfinished dc: hook the yarn, insert into stitch, pull up a loop, hook yarn, pulll through 2 loops, 2 loops left on the hook. Make another unfinished dc in the next stitch: hook the yarn, insert into stitch, pull up a loop, hook yarn, pull through 2 loops. Now you have 3 loops on your hook. Hook the yarn and pull through all of them.
hdc-dc – make 1 unfinished hdc: hook the yarn, insert into stitch, pull up a loop. 3 loops left on the hook. Make another unfinished hdc in the next stitch: hook the yarn, insert into stitch, pull up a loop. Now you have 5 loops on your hook. Hook the yarn and pull through all of them.

Important: this pattern uses the joined rounds technique. This is where each round of your project will start with a ch 1 if the starting stitch is sc (or ch 2 for hdc or dc) and end with a slip stitch joining to the 1st stitch of the round. Chains at the beginning of the rows/rounds do not count toward the total stitch count.
