Super quick and crocheted in a total of 3 parts, this little pattern can be adjusted in so many ways! I love using variegated yarn with these little guys, but also make them in seasonal colors too…think Christmas, Halloween, Valentines and flag, school or team colors for a little bit of fun. As with many patterns, it is easy to adjust the look and size of your little dumpster fires using different yarn weights with a compatible hook.
