Assembly
Put the fry pieces in the red box (long fry pieces in the back). Once you have a shape that you are pleased with, use the red yarn to sew the pieces together by inserting the needle from the front to the back making sure you sew through the french fry pieces a few times to secure them. Weave in the red yarn afterwards. Add a keychain to one corner of the red box (optional).
Time fries when you’re crocheting a piece you love! … okay… I am officially done with the french fry puns, I promise!
