Just in time for Valentine’s Day…a truffle!

DSC_0002

This little truffle is from the original box of truffles that I did a while back. I didn’t write any of it down when I originally made it, and while the truffles are simple, I did need to make another set of truffle and wrapper to check the patterns.

This is a quick and easy single crochet, in-the-round pattern. I used a size F hook and worsted weight cotton yarn in truffley colors and black for the wrapper. You’ll also need a tiny bit of stuffing and you may want to add a tiny decoration for the top of the truffle like I did.

Truffle Pattern:
The truffle is worked from the top to the bottom so if you’re doing a two-tone truffle, start with the topping color and change to second color at round 5.
Make an adjustable loop.
Truffle is worked in a spiral; do not join rounds.
Rnd 1: 6 sc in loop (6 sts)
Rnd 2: 2 sc in ea st around (12 sts)
Rnd 3: (1 sc in next st; 2 sc in next st) 6 times (18 sts)
Rnd 4: sc blo (back loop only) in ea st around (18 sts)
Rnd 5: sc in ea st around (18 sts)
Rnd 6: sc in ea st around (18 sts)
Add the decoration to the top of the truffle at this point.
Rnd 7: sc blo in ea st around (18 sts)
Rnd 8: (sc in next st, sc2tog (or dec)) 6 times (12 sts)
Add a small amount of stuffing to the truffle.
Finish off and leave a 6 inch tail.
With a yarn needle, whip stitch every other st around and cinch up the opening. Pull it tight and weave in the end.
