Pony bead fidget toy

this is a pattern for a stim toy / fidget toy incorporating pony beads. it produces a flat square or rectangle with beads threaded onto the yarn, which are able to be rolled back and forth. it's heavier than a typical crocheted item of the same size, and makes a pleasant noise when you roll it between your hands. the pattern **can be adjusted** to practically any rectangular dimensions (ie, you can make it as long or as wide as you wish). it's **pay-what-you-want**, meaning it can be accessed for free but tips are greatly appreciated! at the link, click the **"download now"** button to get access to two .PDF files: 1) the 5-page default version of the pattern, which includes hyperlinks and a few photos of my finished project, 2) the 3-page printer-friendly version, which has condensed formatting, URLs written out in full, and no photos.
