Celestial Rabbit Music Boxes

Both of these music boxes consist of a main body and a base. Start by making the main body first, and then move on to the base after it's done. The construction process for the two dolls is basically the same.

- Flute Fairy Style -

- Pipa Fairy Style -

The handcrafted measurements may have an error of 1 to 2cm. Due to variations in individual tension, the size of the sample is for reference only.

Petal1  chart

There are a total of 18 petals, with 8 petals in the inner layer and 10 petals in the outer layer. The number of petals can be adjusted according to actual needs or personal preferences. The inner and outer layer petals are in different colors. Start by crocheting them separately, and when crocheting the final round, wrap wire around them. After crocheting, attach them to the main body - the inner layer petals are attached between rounds 24-25, while the outer layer petals are attached between rounds 25-26. Use 2 strands of gold wire for attachment, alternating between the two colors.  you can refer to the video demonstration for more details.
