Diddle, Deeding, Devil, Deliala, and Doodle
These little creatures are no more than little, bouncy heads. Like something you’d find a a horror movie, only less gorey and more mini-ified. They are fun to carry around (I keep one in my pocket at school) and use as little good luck charms. They could also serve as little sachets if you filled then with something perfume-y.
They are very simple to make.
Yarn: Worsted weight, or any weight you want. It takes a very small amount, plus yarn or so in a contrast color for facial features. This is a good project for using up stash.
Crochet Hook: D, or several sizes smaller than what would normall by used for crocheting.
Notions: Stuffind of choice, yarn needle. Optional: something scented, like dried lavender to make a sachet.
Finished size: Varies. Original pattern (done in worsted weight, about 5 stitches to the inch)was about one inch tall.
