As you’ll see in the free guide here and the images across the page, the opportunities are endless in terms of what kinds of lens buddies you can make. But what’s really great is that no matter which you go for, you’ll be using the same basic crochet stiches that even a first-timer will pick up in no time at all.

Once you’ve come up with the basic shape, you can get as creative as you like with the added extras! From googly eyes to sparkles to stickers and anything else you can think of, the more it captures their attention, the better!

Some of the most popular examples include turtles, dragonflies, flowers, frogs and of course…Hello Kitty! Take a look at the free pattern you’ll find the link to right here and see just how creative you can be!
