sc – Single Crochet

🌸 Part 1: Circular Base (Pink)

Base Circle (Start with Pink)

MR, 6 sc
inc x6 (12)
(sc, inc) x6 (18)
(2 sc, inc) x6 (24)
Continue increasing evenly: (3 sc, inc), (4 sc, inc)… up to 20–24 rounds or until desired diameter is reached.

Keep circle flat by adjusting increase spacing. Use BLO in 1 round every few rows for texture rings.

🧷 Part 2: Minnie Motif (Tapestry Crochet or Appliqué)

Option 1: 🧶 Tapestry Crochet (Best for advanced crocheters)

Create a pixel chart (gridded chart of Minnie’s face, 1 square = 1 sc). You can use tools like StitchFiddle or graph paper.
Begin tapestry colorwork in the center of the circle once base is ~½ complete.
Use intarsia-style tapestry crochet:
- Carry unused yarn inside stitches (do not float it across back).
- Switch colors cleanly by finishing the last pull-through of the previous stitch with the new color.
- Use stitch markers to define Minnie’s start point on circle.
Tapestry chart order: work in continuous spiral or joined rounds depending on your comfort.

🧠 Tips:

Use bobbins for each color block (especially for eyes, cheeks, bow).
Keep tension even to avoid puckering.
Practice with a small swatch first.

Option 2: 🧵 Appliqué Method (Easier)

Crochet each Minnie part separately using sc/hdc shapes:
- Head: Black semicircle + ears
- Face: Beige oval
- Eyes: White ovals + black pupils
- Bow: Hot pink bow shape
- Dress: Semicircle with frills
- Gloves & Shoes: Oval shapes + small details
Use felt backing templates to help shape and size.
Sew each piece onto the circle base using whip stitch or invisible join with matching yarn.
