CROCHET PATTERN

Halloween candle
 @fayni_toys
Important!
Hello, my name is Svetlana,
I am the author of this pattern.
Here you can find the description of the
creation process of the toys, but without
basic crochet lessons.
If you use specified materials, your toy
will be 9 cm high (please, pay attention,
the toy size will also depend on your
crocheting density and can be consequently
different from mine).
This crochet pattern is for personal use only. It is PROHIBITED to sell
and distribute materials fully or partly!
But you can do whatever you want with a finished toy.
I would be grateful if you credit me as the author @fayni_toys and use
#taki_fayni when you publish your photos, so that I could find your works,
admire them and leave a ♥

Thanks for your honesty.

Wish you pleasant crocheting and smooth loops!

Materials and Tools:

Sport weight/4ply yarn (50g/160m):

the rest of the scheme and get candles of different heights.
