Making Zippy’s Antennae

🖋️ You’ll need to make two antennae for Zippy.


👉 Start with a Magic Ring

Create a magic ring as the base for the antenna.


Row 1

Crochet 6 Single Crochet (Sc) stitches into the magic ring:

  • Insert your hook into the ring, yarn over, and pull up a loop.
  • Yarn over again and pull through both loops on the hook to complete one Sc. Repeat this 6 times.
  • Pull the loose end of the magic ring to close it tightly.


Row 2

Single Crochet (Sc) around:

  • Work one Sc into each stitch for a total of 6 stitches.
  • This row keeps the antenna round and forms the base structure.


Row 3

Shape the antenna with decreases:

  • Work 2 Single Crochet (2 Sc), followed by a Decrease (Dec) and 2 Single Crochet (2Sc).
  • Repeat this pattern around.
  • You’ll now have 5 stitches.


Rows 4–6

Single Crochet (Sc) around:

  • Work one Sc into each of the 5 stitches for three rows.
  • These rows create the length of the antenna.


Fasten Off (FO)

  • Leave a long tail for sewing (about 6–8 inches).
  • Pull the yarn through the loop on your hook to secure it.
