Poor little Marshmallow….

This idea just came to me.  I thought it was funny.

If you are a  camper or at least like roasting marshmallows then you should  think this is funny as well.

So go! Make poor little flaming marshmallows!

Here is the pattern. It is also available in PDF format below.

Please forgive me, I worked this up VERY fast. If there are any mistakes or anything is confusing or unclear please leave a comment or contact me.  I would like to get it fixed if I can.

THE PATTERN:

What You Will Need:

• White worsted weight yarn

• Black Worsted weight yarn

• Fire-Like colored worsted weight yarn. (Red Heart Super Savor “Sunshine Print” was used in sample)
• Yarn Needle

• A stick from a tree.
• The ability to crochet using the “magic ring” technique

Top / Bottom:

Make 2 circles (1 white, 1 black):

sc 10 in a magic ring.

Pull together to create a circle.

2 sc in each sc around. (20 sc)

sc in each sc around (20 sc)

fasten off.

Middle (Body) Section:

Ch 7

row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch after (6 sc)

row 2: ch 1, turn. sc in each sc across

row 3 – 22: repeat row 2

Bring row 1 and 22 together and sl st through each side to connect the rows and make

a cylinder.

Fasten off

With white yarn Sew cylinder around white (Bottom) circle.

(this will be the wrong side out… so after these part are sewn together

turn right side out.)

Mouth:

With Black

ch 2

5 sc in 2nd ch from hook

Sl st in 1st sc.

Fasten off

Sew mouth onto Body

Sew “X” eyes above mouth

dc in next sc from original row

repeat from * across

ch 1, turn

sc in each st, working your way up the peak you created with your chains.

At the top of the peak ch 3 and work sc down the opposite side so to

continue along your row.

Ch 1 turn

sl st in next 3 sc

sl st in each sc until you get to next 5 sc going up the peak

Repeat from *

Sl st to the end of row and fasten off

Pull top of peaks to make them slightly more pointy

Sew the ends together

Now you have what almost looks like a little flame crown

Final Assembly:

Sew this to the top of the black circle.

Sew black top onto white body. Stuff generously before sewing completely shut.

Your poor little marshmallow is ready to go.

Find a stick from the yard for that real roasted marshmallow look and you have yourself a conversation piece!
