retro crocheted bookworm - with a green pompom tail!
g: what is it?
me: it's a worm.
g: is it a dr. seuss worm?
me: i guess.
g: it's butt is inflated.
do any of you remember these? probably all the children of the 80's, right? i just remember them being so popular when i was a kid.
when i was making my pom pom garland, g wanted me to make a green pom pom for it. i explained to him that i was going with a sky motif, but he said he still wanted a green pom pom. i made him this bookworm from my childhood to appease him.
to create him:
chain 65, double crochet in third chain from hook, 2 more double crochet in same stitch, 3 double crochets in each of the next 11 stitches. slip stitch to the spiral. weave through excess yarn and trim off. add pom pom tail and google eyes.
so adorable doris!
