Pattern: How to crochet a ruler?
Let’s start – Free Crochet Pattern – Ruler
- The ruler is worked in rows.
Back of the ruler:
With a 2.75 mm crochet and brown yarn
- Row 1: ch 7. Starting in the 2nd ch from the hook: 1 sc in the next 6 ch. (6)
- Rows 2 to 16: ch1, turn; 1 sc in the next 6 ch. (6)
Cut the yarn, secure the end, and keep it for later use.
Front of the ruler:
With a 2.75 mm crochet and brown yarn
- Row 1: ch 7. Starting in the 2nd ch from the hook: 1 sc in the next 6 ch. (6)
- Rows 2 to 16: ch1, turn; 1 sc in the next 6 ch. (6)
Do not cut the yarn.
Place the eyes between Rows 10 and 11, spaced by 2 stitches.
With the black embroidery thread, make a mouth between Rows 7 and 8.
With black embroidery thread, add the ruler’s markings on the left side. Work 1 long line (over 2 stitches), then 1 short line (over 1 stitch), and continue alternating. Make a total of 3 long lines and 3 short lines. Skip the area with the eyes. Refer to the pictures below for guidance.
Place the front of the ruler over the back, aligning the edges. Work 1 sc all around, inserting your hook through both layers to join them together. At each corner, make 1 ch before continuing in the next stitch — this will help keep the corners square. Add a little stuffing inside before closing completely. Once you reach the starting point, finish with 1 sl st into the first sc. Cut the yarn, fasten off, and weave in the end.
Congratulations, your ruler is ready!
