Skills Needed: Main essential skills like working in rows, increasing and decreasing stitches, and assembling parts by sewing two halves of the cloud together evenly with single crochets and ensuring tight seams. You also have to add facial features with black thread for a whimsical touch.

Guide Span: 26 Minutes Only

Personalization Tips: Instead of just using blue or pink, add pastel or bright colours to better match nursery themes or room decorations. White is a nice option. You can also embellish the cloud by hanging raindrops, stars, or rainbows, making it a beautiful part of a themed mobile. For a unique feel, combine yarns of different textures—fluffy yarns create a softer look, while metallic yarns provide striking accents.
