Yeah, I’ve watched the new Star Wars movie and I loved it! And much like everyone else I’ve fallen in love with BB-8. So naturally I had to try creating my own crochet version. And because I was feeling particularly creative, I’ve added a squeaker for adorable squeaking sounds and magnetic snap clasps to make the head able to detach and attach.to different points on the body.Pattern below.Note: I used size 3.5mm crochet hook and 4-4.5mm yarn.Material:White yarnGrey yarnOrange yarn1 12mm black safety eye1 7mm black safety eye6 Magnetic snap closures for purses (handbag snap clasp) - 6 halves of one type and 1 of the other type + 7 fastening discs (as in the last picture)1 Plastic squeakerFiberfillHead:Start wth white yarn1.

Dec all (5)Attach one half of the snap clasp - the single thicker one - to the bottom of the head. This may be a bit tricky - you need to insert the fastening disc, align the two parts on the back of the clasp with the holes in the disc and bend the back parts to secure it. Body:With white yarn1.
