Create a magical hot air balloon for the children's room with a crochet hook and cotton yarn! You start from the top by crocheting a chain stitch ring. Through a combination of double crochets, double crochets and chain stitch spaces, the striped balloon grows in beautiful colors. Afterwards, a small basket of single stitches is crocheted in the back loop of the stitch, which is then attached to the balloon with four crochet strings. To get the right round shape, dip the balloon in a mixture of potato flour and water. Stuff it in a regular balloon, inflate it, let it dry and voila, it's ready to hang!
