What you will need:
- a mini pocket mirror
- 3 mm crochet hook
- size 1/superfine cotton 50 g = 170 m
- approx 20 beads and a bead needle
- cardboard and some super glue
Let’s get into it!
- Start by cutting a piece of cardboard to the size of the mirror + a few mm for an extra edge (so you won’t cut yourself on the edge of the mirror)
- Glue it to the back of the mirror
- Make 4 chains, slip stitch into the 4th ch from the hook, ch 1
- Make 8 sc into the hole
- Continue in the same direction and make 2 sc in every stitch (use your yarn end as a guide to where your round stops/starts)
- Next round: 1 sc in the first, 2 in the next
- Next round: make 8 increase spread out randomly
- Continue until you have 6 rounds or until (when you stretch the circle) it fits onto the back of the mirror
- Now start by decreasing: make 8 decreases on the round – randomly (by crochetiing 2 stitches together into one)
- Do the same on the next round.
- Now break of the yarn but leave a long yarn end – weave beads onto the yarn and turn over your work and insert the mirror into the circle
- Crochet again 8 decreases on this last round, but also add 1-2 beads on every stitch by bringing the bead up to your hook just before you bring the yarn over on the last time of the stitch. Finish with 1 11 in the first stitch in the round and weve the yarn into the mirror and just hide in inside the back – do the same with the first yarn end you have
- And now you can finish off by adjusting the crochet to the mirror – stretch and pull as needed or push the crochet a bit away from the mirror and then put glue on 4 places under the crochet and on the mirror – along the edge, and glue it in place. This way you can adjust if you want the crochet to cover more/less of the mirror.
