Pattern Steps
Body Part:
- Start with a slip knot and chain 10.
- Work a single crochet in the second chain from the hook and in each chain across the row (9 single crochet stitches total).
- Chain 1 and turn; work two single crochets in the first stitch (increase), then single crochet in each stitch across until the last stitch, where you'll work another increase. You should have 11 single crochet stitches.
- Chain 1 and turn; single crochet in each stitch (11 single crochets).
- Repeat step 4.
- Chain 1 and turn; decrease by combining the first two stitches into one, single crochet in each stitch until the last two, then decrease again (9 single crochet stitches).
- Chain 1 and turn; single crochet in each stitch (9 single crochets).
- Repeat steps 6 and 7, decreasing until you have 5 stitches in a row.
- Work a few rows of even single crochets with no increases or decreases (each row should have 5 single crochets).
- Begin increases again to create the other end of the guitar body, working until you have rows with 9 single crochet stitches.
- Work the sides by chaining 1 and working single crochets in back loops only around one piece, then continue with single crochets around taking both the loops.
Top Part:
- Start with a slip knot and chain 15.
- Single crochet in second chain from the hook, place a stitch marker in the first single crochet, and work single crochets for 13 stitches.
- Work 4 single crochets in the last stitch, then work on the other side of the chain with single crochets.
- Continue working rows of 4 single crochets to create the top part of the guitar.
Round Center Parts:
- Start with a magic circle, chain 3 and work 8 double crochets inside the circle.
- Close the circle and switch to a new color yarn for the next round.
- Work 2 single crochets in each stitch around, then close with a slip stitch.
Small Rectangular Piece:
- Chain 5, turn, and work single crochets in the back bumps of the chain.
- Extend yarn, cut it off and you're done with this part.
Assembly:
