Getting Start...
Terms to know:

Single Crochet: SC -This is basic stitch used the most.

1. Insert hook into next stitch, draw yarn through stitch, now, you have one loop
and your original loop on your hook.
2. Then catch yarn again through new loop and original loop together. Now you
have completed one SC.

Chain Stitch/Chain: Ch St/Ch

1. Make a slipknot on the hook.
2. Yarn over, through the loop on hook.
3. Make a row or chain.

Increase: SC twice in one stitch.

Decrease: Join 2 SC stitches into one.

Whip stitch: Insert needle (hook) through 2 pieces, and looping around the
edges of 2 pieces. For connecting parts.

Slip Stitch: Insert hook to next stitch, pull yarn through stitch , and your
current the loop on your hook at the same time. Best for closing off or binding off.
Following with pictures of Magic ring
Magic ring/ circle: This is a adjustable loop to begin crochet the first circle.
● Make a loop around your finger x1, grab the the cross part.

Note: As pictures shown, basically, it is to make a Ch St through

the cross part then make a SC as 1st stitch.
 ● Continue # SC over the loop/tail together .
● Pull the tail, then you have your basic circle.

Wing X 2 ( White furry yarn )

use your fingers to feel the next stitch. A little patience needed when
starting magic ring with furry yarn.

** Fold the circle into a half circle ( keep more furry side out ), and try to match up stitches ,
then SC ( as sewing ) matching stitches together.

Add Sl St to close off, leave a long tail for connecting later. Use comb to
“ brush “ for more furry look.

Heart ( Red yarn )

NOTE: Stitch marker to the last stitch on hook and 17th St together now, as a
center point ( dividing point ).

You have 16 Sts on each side to start 2 pointing tops of heart. If

not, just add extra Ch St to make 16 Sts.

Please see the following pictures:

1. Stitch marker on center. ( # 1 )

2. Start with one side first :

R1-R2= 16 SC ( # 2 )
R3 = Dec, repeat ( SC next 2 St together, then SC in next 2 St ) around
= 3 SC x 4 = 12 SC
R4= SC to each stitch= 12 SC
R5= Dec, repeat ( SC next 2 St together, then SC in next 2 St ) around
= 3 SC x 3 = 9 SC
R6= Dec, repeat ( SC next 2 St together, then SC in next St ) around
= 2 SC x 3 = 6 SC
R7= Dec, repeat ( SC 2 St together ) around to end.
Sl St to bind off the tip, then tuck yarn tail inside.

3. Begin to stuff...

4. Tie new yarn to the dividing point ( 2 center Sts together ) of

the other side, draw a Ch St, then continue the same process
as step 2. ( # 3, 5 ) Stuff and shape up!
This is a picture of major parts:

Connecting /Assembling Tips:

Hair:
Follow instruction from package.
Or I wrap hair around my hand several times, then pull and keep
mixing hair together to tangle hair as one pieces. Make enough hair
pieces to cover back of head. Length and fullness as you desired. Use
hot glue to glue hair piece to head, glue on head, not hair. Then arrange
the look as your choice.

Rest of parts:
1. Insert yarn tail from parts to yarn needle, then find the desired spots to
sew wings to back of body, then arms, legs to body.

2. Use thread/tapestry/embroidery needle and thread to embroidery

mouth. Insert tread, 2 threads on both side.( nose is optional )

Tip for mouth: Option 1:

Step 1-needle with threads in: A.
Step 2- Pull needle out from : B, until threads in totally.
Step 3- Needle back to : A, leave threads loosely.
Step 4- Needle out from: C, cross over both threads, into: C, and out
again.

B (out) <--------------A (in)

C ( A-> C, cross over)

 Option 2 :
Different from Step 3, when needle back to A, pull tightly.
When needle out from C, just cross over one thread, pull one thread
down, then into C, and out again. You will create an open mouth.

3. Use whip stitch to sew 2 parts together. Or, you just use your own way
to stitch 2 parts together.

4. Cut out wrap piece from white felt, and wrap around neck and body.

5. Cut heart out from pink felt, and glue on “ Heart “.

6. Stuff firmly, and always adjust shape.

7. Finally, have fun to play.

Now, you just finish Cupid!
