Free Crochet Pattern- Stuffed Fish Toy | Cherry and Crochet Designs

Stuffed fish toy

This simple fish toy would be ideal for both children and pets (don't give it to pets that will eat it though!!) It requires less than 1 ball of yarn and can be made in under an hour, so it is a quick gift idea. There is the option of adding an eye by sewing a few stitches if you wish to make it more realistic. An ideal present for a fish lover, it is large enough for a baby to safely play with, (although it should be lined so the child doesn't get to the stuffing), and could equally be used to play fetch with a small dog. The pattern uses only full terms, no abbreviations, so it can be understood by beginners easily. Enjoy!

Reusable Washcloth Crochet Pattern

This crochet washcloth can be made very quickly and easily using up scraps of yarn. This is part 4 of my Crochet for the Planet series. For extra green points, use up scraps of yarn and make a set of these, each with different uses. They can be used for anything you might use a paper towel or cloth for, for example, washing your face, washing your body, cleaning around the house, dusting the house and many more purposes. I would recommend using a yarn that is washable at high temperatures so they can be washed and used over and over again. It can be made as a first project, would make a great gift for an eco conscious friend, or could be made to sell
