Bow:

With bow color, ch 6.

[Note: Starting at fourth chain from hook, you will be crocheting 3 dc’s tog. When finished with this step, you should have the ch 3 that counts as the first dc, then the 3 dc’s crocheted together.]

Yo, insert hook in 4th ch from hook

[Yo, pull up a loop] twice (2 loops on hook)

Yo, insert hook in next ch

[Yo, pull up a loop] twice (3 loops on hook)

Yo, insert hook in next ch

[Yo, pull up a loop] twice (4 loops on hook)

Yo, pull through all 4 loops (3 dc tog complete)

Ch 5

3 dc in 4th chain from hook, finish off.


Center of Bow Wrap:

With bow color, ch 6

Row 1 – sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in each of 4 remaining chs, finish off.


Wrap tie around the middle of the bow and sew the ends of tie together, overlapping if necessary.

Securely sew bow to head for a girl, to the neck area for a boy.

With brown or black, stitch on face and peanut texture detail.

[Note: Holding the two body pieces exactly matched up as you crochet helps to keep them even with each other. This way you can see the matching stitches and sc them together.]

Sc the two body pieces together, leaving a small opening for stuffing. Stuff lightly, it’s supposed to be fairly flat.

Finish sewing pieces together, finish off.

Weave in any loose ends.


Enjoy your peanut or give her (or him) to a loved one! ♥
