Hello crochet friends!
I am back with a new free pattern! I made this gem (and I am planning on making many more!) because my boys currently love pirates and treasures, and they wanted their very own crochet treasures to play with. My next goal is to make some gems using sparkling yarn, so be sure to follow me on Instagram if you’d like to see how they turn out!
I have also filmed a YouTube tutorial for this pattern, so if you’d prefer to crochet along with me, just click on the link below 🥰
Materials
• DK or 8ply yarn in purple (or any colour gem you’d like!)
• 3.5 mm crochet hook
• Stitch marker, tapestry needle and scissors
• Polyfill
