Here is a little cloud you can crochet in just a few minutes. Using fluffy pillow-like baby yarn, the result is a soft and squishy cloud that you can use as an applique or other decoration.
One Round Cloud
By Jennifer Dickerson
Materials:
- J (6.0 mm) hook (the hook on the yarn label called for a "K" hook, but I went down a hook size to make mine extra squishy)
- White yarn (yarn used for the cloud shown is called "Baby's First" by Lion Brand in the "Pixie Dust" colorway)
- Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
Sizing:
- The cloud is about 2 inches wide (5 cm). However, feel free to experiment with different hooks and yarn to make a variety of different clouds...perhaps an entire sky of them is in order!
Instructions:
Foundation: Chain 6 and join with a slip stitch to form a ring.
Round 1:
(I wrote round 1 written in column format to make it easier to follow along)
All stitches worked into center of ring:
2 dc,
sl st,
1 dc,
2 tr,
1 dc,
sl st,
2 dc,
sl st,
1 dc,
2 tr,
1 dc,

3 dc
...join with a slip stitch to close your cloud and fasten off.
Finishing:
Weave in ends and you're all finished! Shape a bit with your hands if needed.

Every time I try this I get to the end and try to pull it tight to tighten the circle but all it does is pull the slip knot tight. So I'm left with giant holes in the center of the cloud. What am I doing wrong?!?
