Do you have a craft fair coming up and need so super quick and easy things to sell for cheap?? I GOT YOU! These are gorgeous, super quick, and so useful.  


You will need t-shirt style yarn or the easy peasy yarn that's available on Amazon.  I use this kind, because you can get a variety of colors.  You will also need a bead to pull the yarn strands through.  

There are 5 different styles that I use.  Some are quicker to make than others, but all take less than 20 minutes! I sell them for $4 each or 3 for $10. 

Without further adieu, here they are! 

Hook: 3.5 mm
Yarn: t-shirt or easy peasy- I use two strands held together as one.
Bead

Heart
Leaving a tail that is 12 inches long, working in the magic ring. 
Rnd 1:ch3, 2tr, 3dc, ch1, tr, ch1, 3dc, 2tr, ch3, slst inside the magic ring. (11)
Cut a tail 15 inches long.
Weave the shorter strands through the yarn until they come out at the bottom of the heart.  Weave in the other small ends. Add the bead and tie knots at the end of the strands. Make sure the strands of yarn in the bead are big enough that the bead can be pulled tight and stay. 

Watermelon
Start with pink yarn.
Leave a tail that is 12 inches long, working in the magic ring. 
R1: ch1, sc4 in magic ring, turn (4)
R2: ch1, incx4, turn (8)
R3: ch1, (sc, inc)x4, turn (12)
Fasten off. Connect green
R4: ch1, (2sc, inc)x4, (16)
Fasten off leaving a tail 15 inches long.
Weave the pink tail to the opposite end of the watermelon like you see in the picture. Weave in the other small ends. Add the bead and tie knots at the end of the strands. Make sure the strands of yarn in the bead are big enough that the bead can be pulled tight and stay. Use a marker to make the seeds.


Flower
Start with yellow yarn
Leave a tail that is 12 inches long, working in the magic ring. 
Rnd1: ch1, sc6 in magic ring, slst to join (6)
Fasten off yellow and switch to flower color yarn.
Rnd2: ch3, now you will make a puff stitch (pf), (yo, insert into the same stitch, yo, pull up a loop as high as the ch3 like you see in the pic)x3, yo, pull through all the loops on the hook, ch3 slst into the next stitch.  Repeat R2 5 more times
Fasten off. Connect green
R4: ch1, (2sc, inc)x4, (16)
Fasten off leaving a tail 15 inches long.
Weave the yellow tail to the opposite end of the flower like you see in the picture.  Add the bead and tie knots at the end of the strands. Weave in the other small ends. Make sure the strands of yarn in the bead are big enough that the bead can be pulled tight and stay. Use a marker to make the seeds.


Butterfly
Start with first color, DON'T use 2 strands held together, only use 1 strand of yarn for this one. 
Leave a tail that is 12 inches long, working in the magic ring. 
Rnd1: ch2, dc16 in magic ring, slst to join (16)
Fasten off leaving 12 inches for the tail
Connect your second color, leaving a tail 16 inches long. 
R2: ch1, (dc5 in next stitch, slst in next, dc5 in next, slst in next)x3, 
Fasten off leaving a 16 inch tail.
You should have something that looks like this. Fold it in half and wrap two strands from the second color around the middle to create the butterfly. Pull the two strands up through the middle. Add the bead and tie knots at the end of the strands. Make sure the strands of yarn in the bead are big enough that the bead can be pulled tight and stay. Use a marker to make the seeds.


Strawberry
Start with red
Leave a tail that is 12 inches long, working in the magic ring. 
Rnd1: ch1, 7sc, slst to join (7)
Rnd2: ch2, dcinc, 2sc, (hdc, dc, hdc) in next, , 2sc, dcinc, ch2, slst to join (11)
Fasten off red and connect ONE strand of green like you see in the picture.
R1: ch1, sc across the top of the strawberry.  Do it as many times as you need to cover the red, only go to the middle, like the picture, ch3, sc into second from hook, sc in next chain space, sc across the second half of the strawberry, like the picture.  
Fasten off leaving a tail 15 inches long.
Weave the red strands to the bottom of the strawberry, and weave the green strand to the top of the stem, like you see in the picture. Add the bead and tie knots at the end of the strands. Weave in the other small ends. Make sure the strands of yarn in the bead are big enough that the bead can be pulled tight and stay. Use a marker to make the seeds.


 I hope you love them!
