RAYmond Library Critter

Inspired by the **Friends of the Lewisville Public Library’s Welcome, Baby! program**, this charming stingray is a **quick and satisfying project for advanced beginners**. With a combination of **linked treble crochet, single crochet, chains, and slip stitches**, it works up in **just about 60 minutes**! Choose **worsted weight yarn for a 7" stingray or baby/sport weight for a 6" version**—the softness depends on the yarn used. The pattern features **a seam joining the top and bottom halves**, adding structure while maintaining its adorable shape. For a **baby-safe and machine-washable option**, use sewn-on eyes instead of plastic safety eyes. Perfect as a heartfelt gift or donation! Special thanks **to Friends of the Lewisville Public Library, Fiberlady, and Crochet Texas** for supporting fiber arts and community creativity! Want this pattern **for free** in 2025?
