This toy censer is perfect for playing church. It’s just like a real censer, with a top that slides up and down and a little black coal brick that you can take in and out. When I made it, I had parents in mind as well as kids. It’s bell-free, meaning it’s quiet (to preserve your sanity) and it’s less of a choking hazard. If you prefer bells, substitute a bsc (bead single crochet) done with a bell for each bobble.

What you’ll need:

• D/3.25mm hook
• 55 yds. worsted weight yarn, for the censer
• Small amount worsted-weight yarn in black, for the coal
• Small amount of stuffing
• Stitch marker
• Yarn needle
• Ruler/measuring tape
• Optional: additional stitch markers and fabric glue

Special Stitches:

• Bobbles
• Back post single crochet
