The Pattern

Bomb Body (make 1 in black)

Begin at the bottom of the bomb and work upward.

Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
Round 2: inc in each st around. (12)
Round 3: [sc 1, inc] repeat 6 times. (18)
Round 4: [sc 2, inc] repeat 6 times. (24)
Round 5: [sc 3, inc] repeat 6 times. (30)
Round 6: [sc 4, inc] repeat 6 times. (36)

Rounds 7 through 14 give the bomb its height and classic rounded-bomb silhouette.

Round 7–14: sc in each st around. (36 for 8 rounds)

Pro tip: Place your stitch marker at the start of Round 7 and count rounds carefully. The body should be about 2.5 inches tall at this point. Stuff firmly as you go — a well-stuffed bomb holds its shape much better.

Round 15: [sc 4, dec] repeat 6 times. (30)
Round 16: [sc 3, dec] repeat 6 times. (24)
Round 17: [sc 2, dec] repeat 6 times. (18)

Add more stuffing here before the opening gets too small.

Round 18: [sc 1, dec] repeat 6 times. (12)
Round 19: dec 6 times. (6)

FO, leaving a 6-inch tail. Thread the tail onto your yarn needle and weave through the front loops of the remaining 6 stitches. Pull tight to close the opening. Weave in the end securely.

The Letter “F” (surface detail)

You have two options for the iconic F:

Option A — Surface crochet: With white yarn and your hook, slip stitch along the front of the bomb body to form a capital F. Start about 1 inch down from the top center. Work the vertical line downward for about 1.5 inches, then add the two horizontal bars (top and middle).

Option B — Embroidery: Using your yarn needle and white yarn, backstitch or chain-stitch an F directly onto the front of the bomb. This gives you more control over letter thickness.

Whichever method you choose, keep the F bold — it is the whole point of the project.

Fuse (make 1 in black or brown)

Row 1: Ch 12.
Row 2: Starting in 2nd ch from hook, sl st in each ch across. (11)

FO, leaving a tail for sewing. The slip stitches will cause the chain to curl naturally, which is exactly what you want for a cartoon fuse effect.

If you prefer a textured fuse, swap to jute twine: cut a 2-inch piece, fray one end slightly, and hot-glue the non-frayed end into the very top center of the bomb.

Finishing & Assembly

1. Locate the top center of the bomb body (the closed end).
2. Sew or glue the fuse securely into the top center.
3. Smooth the surface stitching on the F and trim any flyaway yarn ends.
4. Give the bomb a gentle squeeze — it should be firm with a slight give.

Customization Ideas

• Rainbow F-Bomb: Use hot pink or electric blue yarn for extra sass.
• Mini Keychain: Use sport-weight yarn and a 2.5 mm hook to make a pocket-sized version.
• Glitter Bomb: Brush the finished piece with fabric stiffener and sprinkle on fine glitter.
• Holiday Edition: Swap black for red and add a tiny Santa hat for a festive gag gift.
