📖 Stitches Used

  • yo – yarn over

📐 Skill Level

Beginner

📏 Finished Size

Approximately 6" long when made with the recommended yarn and hook.

📏 Gauge

Exact gauge is not critical for this project. Maintain a firm, even tension so the stuffing does not show through the stitches.

✨ Special Stitches

Invisible Decrease Stitch

Inv dec – Single crochet 2 stitches together using the invisible decrease so as not to leave a seam.
Insert hook into front loop of next two stitches, yo, pull through, and complete the stitch.

📝 Pattern Notes

  • The F-Bomb is worked in rounds.
  • Change colors during the final yarn-over of the previous stitch unless otherwise noted.
  • Stuff firmly as you work.
