I tried Yoplait’s “Boston Cream Pie” yogurt over the weekend…and it was unfortunately not a favorite. Too sweet for me, although I do love the idea of eating pie for breakfast!
While rinsing out the yogurt cup, I took a few seconds to stop and think of a fun crochet project to save this cup from the recycling bin and give it an extra life in my house. In the spirit of the season, I whipped up a little ghost sweater for it! I think it could be a fun way to decorate a small table and store tiny trinkets or even candy corn or M&M’s!
We took a ghost cozy to the pumpkin patch to make our little video, and a little girl ran up to it with extreme delight. I think this is a good sign.
What You’ll Need:
- empty 6 oz. Yoplait yogurt cup (I designed the pattern to fit this cup in particular)
- worsted weight White yarn (I used Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice in White)
- black felt and Fabri-Tac glue
- H8/5.0mm crochet hook
- scissors
- tapestry needle
Note:
Right Side of work should show on the outside of your project.
