Chestnut season is almost here again! Until then, you can pass the time by crocheting this cute fall decoration: the Chestnut Child with its almost-real-looking chestnuts.
You’ll need:
Cotton yarn, 125 m/50 g (e.g. Catania), in skin tone and brown
Cotton yarn, 165 m/50 g (e.g. Catania fine), in green
Doll’s wool or mohair yarn in brown (but you can also use the cotton yarn)
2.0 mm crochet hook
2.5 mm crochet hook
Polyester stuffing
1 thick wool needle for sewing together
1 pointed needle for embroidering the face
Black and pink embroidery floss
Chenille wire
The chenille wire makes the Chestnut Child’s arms and legs flexible, so it can sit, stand, walk... The Chestnut Child will be about 12 cm tall.
