Halloween Spooky ocular decoration - perfect for hiding around the house or out and about, it’s just the thing for an unexpected trick or treat!

Worked in the round using double crochet throughout, with increasing and decreasing to create the shape and colour changes for the various sections.

Surface crochet technique is used to add the embellishment.

Tension given is only a guide - project can be worked using any weight of yarn - use a slightly smaller hook than you normally would as the fabric needs to be dense to avoid the stuffing showing through.

Finished size: approx 3.5cm
