Hello my fellow crafters! I hope you've had a good jump into the week!


Have you ever had the chance to see the world from a hot air balloon?


I personally have not, but I like to dream about flying on a beautiful and colorful balloon as the sun sets and being carried away to live great adventures...

This cute crocheted hot air balloon make an adorable attachment for a crib mobile!

Just free your imagination and play with colors to create a special decor for your baby's nursery!


For this project I used the gorgeous LOOP'NCRAFT Mercerized Cotton - made of 100% recycle ♻️ cotton yarn!!


Mercerized Cotton Yarn is produced from high quality 100% combed, gassed and mercerized cotton. This light weight yarn is perfect for summery garments, airy accessories and especially for amigurumi projects!

Thanks to the extremely soft to the touch and shiny cotton, the stitches look nice and neat and well defined.

Make sure to check out their website and their Instagram account (@loopncraftyarn) and discover all the yarn options!



***You can purchase a downloadable AD-FREE PDF of the pattern (with many step-by-step pictures, along with charts and schematics) on Etsy HERE.
