Pitfall Seed! Animal Crossing Pattern

With Animal Crossing New Horizons coming out later this month, we’re all excitedly waiting to play. In the mean time, I’ve been working on a bunch of AC patterns to celebrate! The Pitfall Seed is #2! Whip up your own, but be careful not to trip!

Materials

• 2.75 mm hook
• yarn needle
• polyfil
• DK weight yarn in 2 colors (I used I Love This Cotton)
  – white
  – red
  
  If you would like your pitfall seed to be larger or would like to work with worsted weight yarn, you can go up to a 3.5 mm hook (or larger if you’re a tight stitcher)
  
  Stitches

• Magic Circle (MC)
• Single Crochet (sc)
• Increase (inc) two stitches in the same stitch
• Half Double Crochet (HDC)
• Double Crochet (DC)
• FO – Finish off – pull your working yarn through and cut the end
