Rainbow Fishing Game - Free Pattern

She referred to one of my pins on Pinterest that turned out to not have a pattern with it (a second reminder to be careful what you pin). I agreed to make a fishing game in my own style and that's what you'll find below. The idea for a fishing game is not original, but the pattern is my own design.

Olive - Crochet Octopus Puzzle

She is based on my FREE Crochet Amish Puzzle Ball Pattern, and as such comes apart into 3 segments that have to be assembled or “built” to form an octopus. Once built (and provided you use the suggested yarn and hook), she is about 12 cm in diameter, making her perfect for little hands to grab hold of! And the limitless colour options mean that you can make your crochet octopus as unique and as crazy as you want. The puzzle itself is fairly simple. But if you’ve never built a puzzle ball, it might take you a while to get your head around it. My friend, Pam Perkins, made a tiny version using #10 crochet thread and a 1.5 mm crochet hook.

Chloe the Crochet Cow Puzzle

She is just one of my many Amamani Patterns ( short for Amigurumi Amish Puzzle Animals). The Crochet Cow Puzzle is based on the original Crochet Amish Puzzle Ball, and as such comes apart into 3 segments, or rings, which then have to be re-assembled to form the cow. The chunky design makes her perfect for little hands to grab hold of and your colour options are limitless! Think cows are just cream and brown and black? Think again! Size Using the hook and yarn specified, Chloe the Crochet Cow Puzzle works up to 13 cm wide x 15 cm high x 15 cm long. Gauge doesn’t matter, but if the yarn you use is too thin for the hook you use, you will end up with holes in your lids. Notes. DIY: Big Dreams Dreamcatcher. Have big dreams?

How to Make a Table Runner From Plastic Canvas Circles

I love this table runner for its free-formness.
