Don't just sit there, sparkle!!

Yaaaasssss! 👏👏👏

I’m not sure what this is exactly but I made it and I like its hair

Body, with off-white or cream yarn:  1. sc 6 in mr (6) 2. inc around (12) 3. sc, inc around (18) 4. sc2, inc around (24) 5. sc3, inc around (30) 6-10. sc around (30) 11. sc, dec around (20) 12. dec around (10) 13. dec around (5) Hair, with whatever color combo you want: Okay so this part is less “pattern” and more “vague instructions”. I used four strands of yarn for each color, and each strand was about 6 inches long (except orange, which used six strands because my orange yarn was thinner). I attach hair to crochet using the latch-hook like method, which is explained with pictures here: https://www.shinyhappyworld.com/2013/01/how-to-add-yarn-hair-to-amigurumi-tutorial.html  I attached the rainbow yarn two stitches wide, two deep, so I pretty much made a square in every color of yarn (I’ll have to make another one and take in progress pictures to show this part). Then I brushed it with a slicker brush, which is a brush meant for grooming cats or dogs and has bent metal bristles. I couldn’t find a tutorial for what I was doing exactly, but this is almost the same thing: http://tamiesnow.typepad.com/roxycraft/2009/06/tutorial-making-brushed-amigurumi.html    If you don’t want to go read that tutorial, to make the yarn fluffy you take a slicker brush and just keep brushing the yarn until it is all fluffy. You will lose more fluff than you thought possible, but that’s okay, just keep brushing. Now brush more. Eventually, when all is fluff, you can trim the ends of the fluff (or not) and you are done! Have fun with your new yarn friend

My friend just sent me this Pixar short about a ball of yarn (named Purl!) starting a new job! It is so cute!
