Notes:
* There’ll be two patterns, squares for the body of the car and circles for the wheels.
* We’ll need 15 squares and 4 wheels.
* Use the colors you like for each part of the car.
* We’ll be making each square and circle separately and attach them later by sl st or sewing as you’ll see in the pattern.
* I’ll show you how to adjust the patterns if it didn’t fit your rings.
Directions:
The squares pattern:
Make 15, FO and weave in all ends of each one.

sc in each of next 2 sts, sl st next st or invisible slip stitch. FO and weave in ends.
Resizing the squares:
You can increase or decrease the number of stitches as you need, make sure it’s multiple of 4.
Those stitches will be add or removed from the square lines. The angles pattern will remain the same.
The wheels pattern:
Make 4 wheels leaving 4 to 6″ long tail at the end of each one.
Rnd 1: MR, 6 sc in. (6 sc)

Resizing the wheels:

You can replace the dc with hdc, tr or dtc.
