Egmont's Umbrella
This is the pattern for Egmont’s little
umbrella. It’s a bit of a hodge-podge pattern, requiring a bit of crochet, some
wire, a bit of stitching and wrapping ... still, I’m pretty proud of the end product.
See how you go with it. If there are any
problems, let me know. Wire is used in the umbrella so it’s not an appropriate
toy for small children.

Assembly
***These are guidelines only. Be guided by
your own eye at all times.***
Attach the point to the canopy. Thread the two tails of yarn left on the point through the top of
the canopy. Secure the point by weaving in the ends of yarn into the underside of the canopy.
Add detail to the canopy. This is optional. Using a length of yarn the same colour as the
canopy, stitch a line from the top of the umbrella to each point. Put three
stitches into the point. Weave in ends. This makes faint ridges on the canopy, radiating from its centre to the outer points.
Make stem and handle. Cut two lengths of wire, 26cm/10in long. Fold them in half and
twist together until you’re about 5cm/2in from the end.
Spread ends out evenly
so that you have four branches. To stop them from poking you, bend the wire
ends back with pliers.
Insert the twisted end of the wires into
the crocheted handle. Attach light grey yarn to the crocheted handle and wrap
it around the wire stem.
When you reach the top, pull the yarn over the top and
wrap the yarn back down the stem until you reach the handle again. Secure yarn to
the handle and weave in end. Bend the handle into desired shape.
Attach stem to canopy. Centre the stem on the underside of the canopy. Each wire branch should line up with a canopy point. Stitch on with needle and thread.
To finish up, bend and shape the wire, giving the canopy a nice bowl shape.
