Island Play Set

This island play set includes instructions for crocheting the ocean and island base, palm tree, and also a shark, whale, turtle, octopus, and starfish amigurumi. One of my favorite features of this play set is the drawstring. When you cinch it up, the play set becomes a bag to hold all your little ocean animals so that they don't get lost. This pattern should be fun and enjoyable for crocheters of all skill levels. The animals are very quick to make because most of their limbs are crocheted in the final rounds. I thought it would be nice not to have too many pieces to sew on at the end. In fact everything is nice and easy on this island. It’s paradise! At this beach, you don’t have to worry about sunburn or sand that works its way into everything. The sharks even play nice here! I hope you enjoy making an island play set of your very own.
