But the pictures I have used are for making the larger Hairy Molly. The reason I have done this is because I made the larger Hairy Molly slightly differently, and it worked out easier.
<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">I hope this doesn’t confuse folk, if it does, sorry!! When I get the chance, I’ll make another small Hairy Molly and put up pictures. I have completely run out of plastic from making all the toxic coral for the Irish Crocheted Coral Reef, and need time to gather more!!</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

It is used to make a more robust, padded, almost 3 dimensional, motif. <span style=""> </span>Here I simply used twine for my padding; you just crochet over it as normal.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><b style="">

<br /><span style="font-size:100%;">The increases and decreases cancel each other out, so they will not cause the crochet to get smaller, only to twist.

<br />
<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Pattern</span>
<br />
<br /></div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Materials:</span>
<br />I used a 3.50 crochet hook, and Tivoli Celtic Aran yarn, but this pattern is adaptable. Use any yarn, and a hook a size smaller than you would normally use. This helps keep it firm. It is freestanding and quite stable, there is no need to stuff it. You can use a stitch-marker to mark the rows.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Abbreviations:</span>
<br />
<br />ch = chain
<br />slst = slip stitch
<br />sc = single crochet
<br />inc = increase by making 2sc into the same stitch
<br />dec = decrease by crocheting 2 stitches together
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">
<br />Notes: </span>
<br />Because of the curve, the start of the row is shifting, so take the stitch increase, which is constant, to be the start of each row, marked here as the increase (inc). For UK terms substitute dc for sc, and sc for slst.
<br />
<br />
