Mystery Transformable Crochet

Pdf Mystery Pattern

As I write this, the temperatures outside are below freezing.

I am dreaming about springtime.

I hope this pattern brings a smile to your face and warms your heart.

This pattern should only take an hour or two of your time and a bit of scrap yarn.

And it has a surprise inside, when you open it.

All you need is:

Worsted Weight yarn (Weight Category: 4 Medium) 

(like Red Heart Supersaver or Lily Sugar n Cream Cotton)

This can be made in all one color (Total yardage: about 15 yards)

Although, I would suggest using two:

(About 12 yards of a cheery color like yellow or red 
and about 3 yards of a contrasting color like green or blue)

3.75mm / F hook (Hook size needs to be smaller than the recommended size for the type of yarn being used)

A tiny bit of stuffing and a yarn needle.

If you have difficulty with any part of this pattern, send me a message, and of course, I will help.

If you find any errors, I would appreciate a quick note.

I am open to any and all criticism, suggestions and ideas.

Pattern Notes:

Þ    You can change the type of yarn, but I would advise using a sturdy yarn.

Be sure to use a hook size smaller than the yarn recommendations. 

Þ    You can work over the beginning yarn-ends to eliminate weaving in later. 

Þ    Be sure to pull and cinch the beg yarn-end very tight to completely close the center circle.  Worsted weight yarn is pretty strong so you can tug, and it usually won’t break.

Þ    Do not overstuff.  It just needs a little puff of stuffing to shape.

Here goes!

Begin at the Top:

Rnd 1:  MR, Ch 2 (does not count as a dc now and throughout).

10 Dc in the ring.  Join with a ss to the first dc.  (10 dc)

Note: Pull and cinch beg yarn-end to completely close the center circle. 

Rnd 2:  Ch 1, Sc in the joined st and each around. 

Join to the first sc.  (10 sc)

Rnd 3:  Ch 1, Sc-Dec around.  Lightly stuff.  Join.  (5 sc)

           

Rnd 4:  Ch 1, Sc-Inc in first st.

           

Ss in next st.

Ch 6, sk 2 chs, Sc in the next 2 chs, sk next ch, Ss in last ch.

Then ss once more in the same st as last ss on made on rnd 3.

Sc-Inc in the next st of the head.

Ss in next st.

Ch 6, sk 2 chs, Sc in the next 2 chs, sk next ch, Ss in last ch.

Then ss once more in the same st as last ss on made on rnd 3.

Sc-Inc in the last st of the head.  Join.  (6 sc + 2 extended segments)

Rnd 5:  Ch 1, Sc in first 2 st.

                        Mark the back loop of the first sc with a st marker. 

Move the extended stitches down out of the way.

Sk the slip-stiches and the extended segment.

Sc in each of the 2 sts between the extended stitches.

Sk the slip-stiches and the next extended segment.

Sc in the last 2 sts.   Join in the FLO of the first sc.  (6 sc)  

Rnd 6:  Work this round in FLO. 

Ch 2, Dc-Inc around.  Join to the top of the first dc.  (12 flo-dc) 

Rnd 7:  Ch 2, (Dc in 3, Dc-Inc) 3xs.  Join.  (15 dc) 

Rnd 8:  Work this round in BLO. 

[Ch 1, (Hdc, Ch 1) 3xs in the next st, ss in next 2 sts] around. 

[Note: The last ss will be in the back loop of the joined ss from rnd 7.] 

Ch 1, FO and weave in. (5 petals)

Now, invert Rows 6 through 8 by pushing the Top down inside.

You will be working on the inside on the free loops of rnd 5.

You may need to stretch the center hole a bit to see the 6 free loops from rnd 5 (See Photo).

Final Part: 

Rnd 1:  With a contrasting color:

Join  with a Ss in the Marked loop.

Ch 1, Sc in each free loop around.  Join.  (6)

Rnds 2-5: Ch 1, Sc around.  Join.   FO after rnd 5.  (6)

This can be made longer if you want:

Just repeat the last row as many times as you wish.

It could also be wider to accommodate fatter-sized pencils or adult fingers:

Just add one (or more) single crochet increase on rnd 1.
