Made this crocheted rocket last year for a space themed baby mobile! Thought it would make a really cute keychain, or I could make it with thread instead of yarn and turn it into earings!
Materials:
• The Yarn (Worsted Weight)
– Red (Fins, Tip and Flames)
– Blue (Window)
– Grey (Body)
– Light Grey (Exhaust)
– Yellow (Flames)
• Size G6/4.00mm Hook
• Stuffing
• Needle
Gauge: 5 Rnds and 4 sts per 1” | Finished piece is about 2” tall
Worked in the Round
The Stitches:
• Ch : Chain stitch
• St : Stitch
• Sl.st : Slip Stitch
• Sc : Single Crochet
• Hdc : Half-Double Crochet
• Dec/Inc : Decrease/Increase
• FLO : Front Loops Only
• BLO : Back Loops Only
• InvDec : Invisible Decrease
Color Changes:
This pattern requires a few color changes. Be sure to check the note at the end of each Rnd before you make the round to know when to change colors. Carry colors required for each round along with you before you need to do a color change.
For color changes with Color/Color (ex: 1 Red/Blue), make the first pull through with the first color (Red), and next with the second color (Blue)
