Spring Break Frisbee

By
I created this pattern while sitting next to the campfire during spring break. I made several of them... they didn't take anytime at all. I found that a 100% cotton yarn like Lily's sugar and cream or the Walmart Peaches and Cream yarn worked best. On some attempts I used a slightly higher quality cotton yarn and found that the finished product was not as stiff and therefor didn't fly as well...they still worked great, however, so by all means use what you have. I haven't tried making this pattern with any other type of yarn although I'm sure it would work great. These frisbees are great indoors or out.

New Pattern: Mini Flyer

By
This is simply a smaller version of my Spring Break Frisbee . I wanted to make something small that would fit into medium size geocache containers and yet still fly. This is what I came up with. You can use two strands of any worsted weight yarn. I made my sample projects with cotton, but feel free to experiment with other fibers. This cute little flyer fits into the palm of your hand and can still fly as far as it's big brother. It is a fast little project... and if your dog won't fetch it... it would make a fine beret for a smaller breed. You can make this in a single color by holding two strands of the same color together, but I prefer the look of two color. It is also an excellent way to remove the cob webs from those hard to reach corners... just aim and let it fly! For this project you'll need: Size K hook 2 worsted weight yarns. Tapestry needle for weaving in the ends Round 1: Holding 2 strands together and using the K hook use the magic ring method to SC 6 int...
