I came up with this little piece at home while trying to think of a small supplemental birthday gift for my friend’s upcoming birthday. I tried to make it look as much like the movie one as possible in crochet, but there were too many little moving parts in the real ones.

Hourglass:

with beige, ch 12, join with sl st, being careful not to twist, ch 1

Round 1: sc in each ch around, join with sl st, ch1 (12)

Round 2: sc in each st around, join with sl st, ch1 (12)

Round 3: sc in each st around, join with sl st, ch1 (12)

Round 4: *sc in next 2 sts, sc dec*, repeat from * around, join with sl st, ch1 (9)

Round 5: *sc, sc dec*, repeat from * around, join with sl st, ch1 (6)

Round 6: sc dec three times, join with sl st, ch1 (3)

Round 7: 2 sc in each st around, join with sl st, ch1 (6)

Round 8: *sc, 2 sc in next st*, repeat from * around, join with sl st, ch1 (9)

Round 9: *2 sc, 2 sc in next st*, repeat from * around, join with sl st, ch1 (12)

Round 10: sc in each st around, join with sl st, ch1 (12)

Round 11: sc in each st around, join with sl st, ch1 (12)
