Here is a pattern for little Hershey kisses for Valentine's Day:
Finished kiss measures
approximately 2” tall (approximately 6 cm).
This is a very simple pattern, must know increasing.
Materials:
Medium worsted-weight yarn
Crochet hook size D3 (U.S.)
White ribbon or felt
Safety eyes or eyes of your choice (I used black yarn to embroider them on mine)
Stuffing
Yarn needle
Kiss Body:
Row 1: Leaving a long tail, Ch. 4. Join with sl st into first st. Work 8 sc into center ring and around tail, do not join. Pull tail to close the hole in the ring. Tie tail to working yarn (keeps the hole in the middle closed forever). Mark beginning of the row. From this point on, you will be working in the round.
Row 2: *1 sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc*, repeat from * to * around, 12 st.
