Tiny Crochet Balloons

I love making mini balloons. They are perfect for any

or no occasion. And they are super easy and quick to
make.

My pattern changes every time. I don't think I have

made two balloons exactly the same way but here's
one way I make them.

And if you don't know how to crochet but you really

like these balloons, I can make them for you. Just
follow thislink.
Materials:
1. Aunt Lydia's size 10 crochet thread (colors of your
choice)
2. 1.30 mm crochet hook
3. Polyfil
4. Sewing needle
5. Scissors
6. Stitch marker
7. Glue gun
8. Wire

Abbreviations:
mr - magic ring
sc - single crochet
hdc - half double crochet
sl st - slip stitch
st(s) - stitch(es)
ch - chain
rnd - round

Balloon:
mr, ch 1, 7 sc in the ring
Pull tight to close
round 1: 2 sc in each stitch - 14 sts
round 2: 1 sc, 2 sc in next stitch (repeat 7 times) - 21
sts
rounds 3 - 6: sc around - 21 sts
round 7: 1 sc, sc2tog (repeat 7 times) - 14 sts
round 8: sc around - 14 sts
round 9: sc2tog (repeat 7 times) - 7 sts (stuff the
balloon before finishing this rnd)
round 10: sc around
round 11: 2 sc in each st - 14 sts
round 12: sl st in 2 sts
Fasten off and finish off following this tutorial.

Cut your wire (about 3 inches long). Insert in balloon

and glue with the glue gun.

Bow: (leave long tails)

ch 8
row 1: 1 hdc in 2nd ch from hook; 1 hdc in each st; ch
2 and turn - 6 sts
rows 2 - 15: 1 hdc in each st; ch 2 and turn - 6 sts

Fasten off and sew both side together. Fold in half

and wrap the left over thread several times in the
middle. Make sure to pull tight the first time to shape
the bow. Tie a knot on the back of the bow.

Ch 12 - 20 with the left over thread

Put the balloons together and wrap thread around
the middle of the wire. Wrap several times and glue
with the glue gun to secure. Glue the bow on the
thread you just wrapped around the wire.

I hope you liked this pattern.
