Materials Needed to Crochet a Mustache

• Crochet hook - any size will do

Step-by-Step Instructions On How to Crochet a Mustache

1. Loop the end of your string over the string still attached to the ball of yarn.

2. Make a second loop with your string and pull it through the first loop.

3. Now you have a slip knot - the beginning to every crochet project.

4. Insert slip knot over crochet hook. Then, pull string from back of crochet hook to the front and rest on hook.

5. Pull hook end of the crochet with string through the slip knot. You have just made a chain.

6. Chain 6.

7. In the first chain, do a double crochet. Then, chain one onto the same chain and do another double crochet.

8. In the second chain, do a double crochet only.

9. Your creation should start to look like the one side to the mustache.

10. In chains 3-6, do a single crochet. Now you have one half to the mustache!

11. Cut the string and tie off the first half of the mustache.

12. Now, repeat steps 1-10 to make the other have of the mustache. Tie the two mustache sides together.

Now you have a crochet mustache! It’s great to use as a prop for photo booths at weddings or other events. But, it’s also fun to just give them to friends as funny gifts. Mustache paraphernalia seem to be very popular right now, so you could even sew them onto backpacks, baby clothing or a homemade card.
