Materials List
Important Material Note:
Since this kite is crafted entirely based on a flexible principle, you can use any yarn of your choice, making it the perfect project to use up your yarn scraps!
• Yarn: Scraps of classic cotton yarns (e.g., Schachenmayr Catania, Gründl Cotton Quick Uni, Milk Cotton or similar yarns) in your preferred colors (solid, two-tone, or colorful for the harlequin pattern), as well as small scraps in white for the eye discs and black for the mouth.
• Crochet Hooks: Always choose the smallest hook size recommended on the label of your yarn (e.g., size 2.5 mm or 3.0 mm). For the start of the curly ribbons, you will also need a hook that is exactly 1 size larger (e.g., size 3.5 mm or 4.0 mm). A super thick crochet hook is ideal for knotting the fringes.
• Safety Eyes: 1 pair of black safety eyes for that whimsical look.
• Hanging Thread: Thin, transparent acrylic thread (nylon thread) to make the kite float magically in the room.
• Tools: Tape measure, a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, and scissors.
• Optional: Fabric glue if you prefer to glue down the white eye discs instead of sewing them on.
