This is a very simple pattern to make a virus that looks very much like a scanning electron microscope image of a virus. It’s fast and a great way to use remnants of yarn for a silly gift. Don’t worry about gauge, just work tightly enough to keep the stuffing inside. The finished project made with the yarns listed above and a G hook is about 2.5 inches in diameter, just right to fit in the palm of your hand.

Get creative with your viruses! All colors of the rainbow and various mixes with eyelash yarns, literally whatever scraps you have in your stash will make great viruses.
