~ a round wiggles pillow ~


After 3 tries I finally got it.  Now all I have to do is get a pillow form and stuff it.  :) 

Materials:
- 4-ply worsted weight acrylic 
   - 4 oz. for the base (I used Red Heart Super Saver)
   - wiggly colors (I used Herrschners Worsted 8 - I didn't weigh the amounts because you can choose to use all one color or different colors for each wiggle.  I would guess though, that the last wiggle round was no more than 2 oz.)
- J hook

Size:  13" across

Notes:
- I crochet tight so you may need to adjust the size of your crochet hook
- the base piece will ruffle but will straighten out when the wiggles are crocheted

Directions:
For base (make 2):

Rnd 1:  Ch 4, 11 dc in 3rd ch from hook.  Join with a sl st to top of beginning ch 3.  (12 dc)

Rnd 2:  Ch 4, dc in next dc, ch 1.  *dc in next dc, ch 1.  Repeat from * around.  Join to 3rd ch of beginning ch 4.

Rnd 3:  Ch 3, dc in same st.  2 dc in each st around.  Join with a sl st to top of beginning ch 3.

Rnd 4:  Ch 4, skip next dc, dc in next dc, ch 1.  *skip next dc, dc in next dc, ch 1.  Repeat from * around.  Join with a sl st to 3rd ch of beginning ch 4. 

Rnd 5:  Ch 3, dc in same st, dc in next st.  *2 dc in next st, dc in next st.  Repeat from * around.  Join with a sl st to top of beginning ch 3.

Rnd 6:  Repeat Rnd 4.

Rnd 7:  Repeat Rnd 5.

Rnd 8:  Repeat Rnd 4.

Rnd 9:  Ch 3, dc in same st, dc in next 2 sts.  *2 dc in next dc, dc in next 2 sts.  Repeat from * around.  Join with a sl st to top of beginning ch 3.

Rnd 10:  Repeat Rnd 4.

Rnd 11:  Ch 1, 2 sc in same st, sc in next 3 sts.  *2 sc in next st, sc in next 3 sts.  Repeat from * around.  Join with a sl st to 1st sc.  End off.  

For wiggles:
Join any color with a sl st around any dc, ch 3, 3 dc around same dc.  *turn work, 4 dc around the next dc.  Repeat from * all around.  Join with a sl st to top of beginning ch 3.  End off.

    when doing the wiggles. I don't get the "turn" part

    Thanks for all the compliments ladies. :)

    mary leath - after you attach the yarn, ch 3, and then work 3 dc around the first dc, turn the base piece counter-clockwise until the next dc is straight across. Work 4 dc around that dc, turn the base piece clockwise until the next dc is straight across. Keep turning the base piece counter-clockwise and then clockwise as you work around. Hope this helps you.
