Roly Poly Pill Bug

First of all I would like to note that this crocheted Roly Poly Pill Bug has many details to sew together. I wanted it to be flexible as much as possible, so I could not crochet it solid. Sewing it is not difficult but requires patience and attention to assemble everything symmetrically.

Skills required: magic circle (or magic ring), crocheting in spiral, chain, slip stitch, single crochet, increase, invisible decrease, also basic sewing Required Materials: • Yarn. I used Gazzal Baby Cotton (50g and 160m) (sport weight) yarn: 1 skein of dark gray color for the shells, 1 skein of light gray color or beige for the body, head antennae and the legs. • Hook – 1.75 mm • Hollowfibre filler for stuffing • Tapestrty needle, scissors • Safety eyes (diameter of eyes I used is 13 mm), of course you can choose smaller or bigger • Pins • Marker (I used another color piece of yarn)
