Introduction
I've been playing around with this Chili Pepper Crochet Pattern, and it’s actually a really satisfying little project. I made one to hang off the zipper on my tote bag, and it’s just a nice, subtle pop of red that makes it feel a bit more like mine.
Honestly, you don't need to know much to get this done. The whole thing is built on basic stitches, so it works up surprisingly fast. I think I finished mine in one evening while half-watching a movie. It's that straightforward.
For the one I made, I just grabbed some leftover 4-ply yarn and a 2.0 mm hook because I wanted it to be small and kind of detailed. You could definitely go bigger with chunkier yarn if you wanted, though. Maybe make a whole bunch. A little string of them could be kind of cool.
