Crochet pattern for an alarm clock with moveable clock hands

This tutorial will accompany you step by step to a cute alarm clock with moveable clock hands. It can be used as an instructive toy for children or a lovely object for your home decoration. Crochet toys are well suited for children. Due to their softness they do no harm. They don't make disturbing noises or scratches and don't break if falling down.

This tutorial does not include crochet basics, but requires some experience. The following techniques are used: chain stitch, slip stitch, double crochet, colour change, crochet in rounds (crochet terms in british english!). The tutorial includes 6 pages with more than 20 pictures that will help you to understand the production process.

If you use cotton yarn with a yardage of 200y/3.5oz (90m/50g) and a hook size 3.5, the alarm clock will get about 12 cm high and 10 cm wide. The toy will be suitable for children from the age of 3 up.

I use cotton yarn with a yardage of 200y/3.5oz (90m/50g) and a hook size 3.5, but you can also use any other yarn and matching hook. Further you need some filling material and a button with a diameter of about 15 mm.
