Yarn & Hook

© Boys & Bunting 2015

Any type of yarn can be used for these projects. As for hook size, we recommend going down a hook size to that of the recommendation of the yarn manufacturer (in order to for your work to work up tighter).For our candy, we used an assortment of 8ply mercerised cotton, along with a 3 mm crochet hook.

Turn your work so the right side is facing you.We are going to be working out of the spaces between the single crochet stitches. They appear as little holes holes on our work (Picture B)

Insert your hook through the center hole of your truffle piece(Pictue C)

Pull a loop of colour B back through the hole, you will have one loop on your hook (Picture D)

Now move to one of the little spaces between the single crochet stitches (as metioned in Picture B)Insert your hook and pull through another loop of colour B. You should now have two loops on your hook (Picture E).Go ahead and pull that 2nd loop on your hook through the fist one, completing a sl st.

Repeat this process untill you have added enough swirly decoration to the truffle, it only needs to cover about half of the current truffle peice. (Picture F)

Once you are happy with the amount of swirly decoration then go ahead and fasten off colour B. Sew in the ends to colour B and we will continue the rest of the main truffle moving back to colour A.
