In today’s crochet 2-in-1 Christmas plushie tutorial, you will learn this set of no-sew & mini crochet Twinkle plushie variations. You can prepare this set as an irresistible Christmas present or tree ornament. First, we have the same no-sew Little Star Twinkle plushie for both variations. But one wears a plain crochet Christmas wizard hat while the other one wears a removable ruffle-brim hat. Both these plushies have a star on the top of their crochet hats and are made using the thin plush yarn. You can also make a 3rd crochet Twinkle plush a little bigger by using the super bulky velvet yarn.
You will also learn how to do those iconic Twinkle blush cheeks and how to use the bobble stitch to make it low-sew. You can choose from the green or yellow Twinkle plush. Note that this year’s ultimate crochet festive doll trend will be the Twinkle plushies.
So, I will continue bringing new ideas, designs, and patterns to DIY crocheted versions of Twinkle plushies. So, be sure to continue showing your interest and continue reading to learn more about this, another Christmas project, and learn to crochet it in detail. Kids will love these presents!
