Happy Chinese New Year 2013!

I initially crocheted a pair of mini “good luck” tangerine for Chinese New Year, but they turned out looking more like orange cherries than mini tangerines, so I decided to make a larger one……

Ta-da! Which version do you guys like more?

I used a 1mm thick Chinese knotting cord instead of yarn to give it a shiny “Chinese New Year” look.

Here is my first pattern “Good Luck Tangerine” to share with everyone. It is done according to the materials I used. I hope the instructions are clear enough; if not, feel free to leave a comment and I will try my best to explain and improve the pattern. Wish everyone a Happy Chinese New Year!
