Soot Sprites






Abbreviations- sc (single crochet), st (stitch), sts (stitches), sc dec (single crochet decrease), F/O (finish off)
Crochet Hook Size- G or H
Finished Measurements with using G hook- approximately 2 inches tall using the G hook and 2 ½ inches tall using the H hook.
Materials needed: “Fun Fur” by Lion Brand (Black). White felt for eyes. Clear or white thread for sewing on eyes, black thread for pupils of the eyes. Scissors.

(Important note before you start crocheting: this yarn is very very difficult to use as far as knowing where your stitches are, so pay close attention)

Using the Magic Ring Method add 6 sc into the circle.
R1: 2 sc in each st (12)
R2-4: sc in all sts (12)
R5: sc dec 6 times (6)
Stuff the Soot Sprite and then sc dec until the hole is closed off. F/O
Weave in all ends with the yarn needle or crochet hook.

Eyes

1) Cut out two white oval pieces. 
2) Use white thread to sew white ovals to body. (just one time through the oval and body should hold the eye on securely). Then make sure you knot the white thread behind one of the eyes after sewing, then pull the thread through the body and cut from the needle.
3) Use the black thread to sew the pupils on where you want them. I went over the same spot twice for each pupil. You can also use a sharpie if you’d like, although sharpie doesn't mark felt well.

After you're all done with the eyes, cut the fuzziness down to about 1/4 of an inch. Then it will have sort fuzziness all over. Or cut the fuzziness down first to make it easier for sewing the eyes on. Your choice.  :)

You’re finished!
