Pip’s Wings
You'll crochet 2 identical Wings using purple yarn. Complete the first Wing from start to finish using the instructions below, then repeat the same steps to make the second Wing. You've made a magic ring twice already, so this will feel familiar from the very first stitch.
Unsure about a stitch? The video tutorial for it is linked right where you need it, just look for the play button or an underlined word.
Round
1Start by making a magic ring (MR) with the purple yarn. Then crochet 5 single crochet (sc) into the center of the ring. Gently pull the yarn tail to draw the ring tightly closed.
Total stitches: 5
Round
2Crochet 1 single crochet (sc) in each stitch around.
Total stitches: 5
Important: Don't forget to place your stitch marker in the first stitch of all rounds!
Shaping the Wings
Now let's give the Wing its special folded shape!
1. Fold the Wing:
Gently fold the round Wing in half so the first stitch and the last stitch of the round line up next to each other. This is why your stitch marker is so useful, it marks your first stitch. The Wing should now look like a small folded semicircle.
2. Join the fold:
Insert your hook through both stitches (the first and last) and make 1 slip stitch (sl st) to hold the fold in place.
3. Secure the shape:
Insert your hook through the next 2 stitches, one from each side of the fold, and make 1 more slip stitch (sl st). These stitches keep the Wing neatly folded.
4. Finish off:
Cut the yarn, leaving a 6-inch tail. Pull the yarn through the last loop to secure it. You'll use this yarn tail later to sew the Wing onto the Body.
