Free Crochet Pattern- Bone Toy | Cherry and Crochet Designs

Bone toy

This easy and quick toy is suitable as both a toy for a small dog (please supervise though!), or a child. It can be made in just over an hour and in any colour. It would make an ideal gift for a dog or dinosaur lover and is fun to make. The pattern uses only full terms, no abbreviations, therefore it is suitable for a beginner-intermediate crocheter. 

Sorry about the poor photo, it was late and I needed to frog it for the yarn for a last minute gift :)
