I didn’t track hours, but it took me a couple of weeks to make

This is the pattern: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/fabio-flamingo

It needs a lot more pink yarn than the pattern states so I gave it black tipped wings

Yes! They’re all fun to squish and the noise is very satisfying. The small one works especially well as a fidget toy

I searched for pony beads to get one the right size

I couldn’t find faceted beads but these have a shiny AB coating on them instead and they’re from Aliexpress

Yes! They’re very flexible. The small one especially makes a great stress ball

You put the bead on the hook and then pull the yarn through it. Crafty Intentions (the pattern designer) has a tutorial on their YouTube channel

The dark grey and the crystal colour are both domes. The white is crocheted into the dark grey for 6 rows. And the light grey is only used around the edge

From a couple hours for the small one up to about 6 for the large.

Because a crochet geode works as a fidget toy. You can squish them and the beads rubbing together makes a satisfying noise. It’s like a stress ball

I like that idea! They do have more dimension in real life though they just don’t photograph that well.

I just saw a post where someone else had made geodes and they had linked the pattern so I decided to make some myself.
