• 3.5mm crochet hook

Step-by-Step Instructions

Creating the Fairy Figures

1. Magic Ring: Start by creating a magic ring. To do this, wrap the yarn around your fingers to form a loop, then pull a loop of yarn through the ring.
2. Round 1: Chain 1, then make 6 single crochet (sc) into the magic ring. Pull the tail to close the ring.
3. Round 2: Increase by making 2 sc in each stitch around (12 sts).
4. Round 3: *1 sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch*; repeat from * to * around (18 sts).
5. Round 4: *1 sc in the next 2 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch*; repeat from * to * around (24 sts).
6. Rounds 5-10: Work even in sc for 5 rounds (24 sts each round).
7. Rounds 11-15: Decrease evenly to close the top. For example, *1 sc in the next 2 stitches, sc2tog*; repeat from * to * around until you have 6 sts left. Fasten off and weave in ends.

Creating the Wings

1. Using the same pastel yarn, chain 15.
2. In the 6th chain from the hook, make 1 double crochet (dc), then 3 chain stitches, and slip stitch back into the same chain to create a picot. Continue with 1 dc in each of the next 8 chains.
3. Fasten off and repeat for the second wing.
4. Attach the wings to the back of the fairy figure using a tapestry needle.

Creating the Mushrooms

1. Start with a magic ring and chain 1.
2. Round 1: Make 6 sc into the magic ring.
3. Round 2: Increase by making 2 sc in each stitch around (12 sts).
4. Round 3: *1 sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch*; repeat from * to * around (18 sts).
5. Round 4: Work even for 1 round, then fasten off.
6. For the stem, chain 8 and work 1 sc in each chain back to the base. Attach the stem to the bottom of the mushroom cap.

Creating the Flowers

1. Chain 5 and join with a slip stitch to form a loop.
2. In the loop, make 5 sc, then chain 3 and slip stitch back into the loop to create petals.
3. Repeat this process for 5 petals total, then fasten off and weave in ends.

Assembling the Fairy Ring

1. Arrange your fairy figures, mushrooms, and flowers in a circular pattern on a flat surface.
2. Once you are satisfied with the arrangement, sew each piece down securely using a tapestry needle and matching yarn.
3. Ensure everything is well attached and adjust any pieces as needed for balance and aesthetics.
