Teddy Bear with alternative colour for hair bow
Designed by Val Pierce
“DMC Petra 3 is a beautiful soft crochet cotton which is a pleasure to use. Although soft and silky to the touch it still gives very definitive stitches when worked up. The colours are quite stunning with a huge range of beautiful vibrant shades right through to delicate pastels.”
1 ball of colours 5712, 5434, 5745, 5772, 5149 and 5145
Crochet hook size 3.00mm
This cute character is made using the Amigurumi method whereby you will crochet in circles without joining each round as in normal crochet. It is therefore sensible to mark the beginning of your rows so that you know where the next row begins. |
Vintage Style Place Ma
Designed by Susie Johns
“Petra yarn is so easy to work with – it's the classic choice for crochet. Its smoothness and strength means you can work quickly and it's easy to maintain an even tension. I have always enjoyed working with classic crochet cotton and this yarn combines all the qualities of a traditional thread with an abundant choice of colour. For this project I have used a subtle combination of white and light cream but I look forward to using some of the brighter colours in future.”
1 ball of colours B5200 and 53901.
Crochet hook size 2.50mm
It is possible to make the mat larger or smaller by increasing or decreasing the number of squares used.
