A Crochet Matryoshka Brooch

Matryoshka Brooch

(like the bigger Matryoshka, make 2 and single crochet together)

You'll need:

Yarn and a hook to match

A brooch pin

PVA or similar glue to attach face and skirt

Fasten off.

Now decorate your little Matryoshka- draw a face on some felt with permanent pen and add some fabric for her skirt. I glued mine on with PVA glue.

Attach the brooch pin to the back.

Now single crochet around the edges of your two pieces to join them together and stuff lightly.

Enjoy your little brooch.
