🪡 Pattern Instructions
Step 1: Crochet Two Tubular Strips
Each “C” is a stuffed tube that you’ll bend into shape.
With gold yarn:
- MR, 6 sc (6)
- [sc in each st] around (6)
- Continue working spiral rounds of 6 sc until the tube measures ~22–24 cm long.
- Stuff lightly with fiberfill or scrap yarn as you go.
- FO, leaving long tail.
👉 Repeat for the second tube.
Step 2: Shape into Curves
- Bend each stuffed tube gently into a C-shape.
- Use the yarn tail and tapestry needle to secure ends closed.
- Tuck in stuffing firmly at the tips for a neat rounded finish.
Step 3: Interlock the Two Cs
- Place one “C” flat.
- Slide the second “C” through the first, overlapping at the midpoint just like in the photo.
- Stitch them together invisibly at 3–4 points where they cross so the interlock holds.
Step 4: Finishing
- Weave in all ends neatly at the back.
- Attach the brooch pin back at the center rear with sewing or glue.
- (Optional) Brush lightly with fabric stiffener for a polished finish.
🌟 Styling Ideas
- Pin on a black blazer for maximum contrast.
- Try different yarns: metallic silver for modern elegance, bronze for a vintage feel.
- Add seed beads or rhinestones for a luxury upgrade.
💡 Tips for Success
- Don’t overstuff the tubes; they should bend smoothly without bulging.
- Use mercerized cotton or satin-finish yarn for the glossy look.
- Steam-block the finished brooch gently to help curves set in place.
