If you’re looking for a fun, colourful crochet project that works up quickly, this little Crochet Bead Character is the perfect make.
Using one of the adorable wooden face beads as the head, a few simple crochet spirals become colourful arms and legs, giving the character lots of movement and personality. Finished with a flower and keyring clip, it’s a cheerful accessory that can be attached to bags, keys, pencil cases or gifted as a Random Act of Crochet Kindness.
Because every wooden bead has a slightly different face, each character ends up with its own unique personality!
