LEAF

Yarn: Green

Chain 10 and start in the second loop from the hook.

Crochet: 1 ss, 1 ss, 1 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc, 2 dc in the same stitch, 2 dc in the same stitch, 1 hdc, 3 hdc in the same stitch.

 

Continue on the other side of the chain. You now have 8 loops to crochet the following: 1 hcd, 2 dc in the same stitch, 2 dc in the same stitch, 1 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc, 1 ss, 1 ss.

 

Cut the yarn and leave a long tail. Sew the yarn down through the leaf. You can pull a little to adjust the appearance of the leaf. Make two or three.

Cut the yarn and leave a long string for assembling.

​

ASSEMBLING

First, sew the leaves to the dome. I usually do it through the magic ring. When done, fill the dome with teddy bear stuffing. Cut a cardboard disc of approx. 6-6.5 cm in diameter and glue it to the crochet circle. This should make sure to keep the flat shape and keep the teddy bear filling in the dome.

 

Put the two parts together with the circle on top of the dome. Now sew through the front loop on the dome part and both loops on the circle.
