Female Lone Star Tick

Living on property surrounded by woods, we manage to attract quite a few of these critters each summer. This is another of my own crochet patterns. I start with pictures of my next creation and then develop the pattern by trial and error. The legs for the tick were made as rectangles and then crocheted together lengthwise over a length of cotton cording - so much easier than trying to crochet something so small in diameter in the round.

that came out really nice, but it gives me the CREEPY CRAWLIES!
I've already pulled off like 10 ticks from the kids and pets, and it's only april 1st!.
Next you should crochet a tick remover, or a pair of tweezers. :)
