★ ---Details --- ★
Create this fascinating toy formed of two interlinked rings in beautiful organic cotton in the colours of your choice.

The finished rings are each approximately 9cm in diameter. An upcycled gift tag is included if you are giving the finished toy as a present

The kit is available with your choice of machine-washable 100% recycled polyester toy stuffing or natural carded wool. The wool stuffing is a natural product. It is scoured and clean but may still include the odd bit of straw or leaf. If you choose the wool version, your rings can be gently soaked to clean.

The rings are made using a 3.5mm (US: E-4) crochet hook (or the size you need to make a compact crochet fabric with the given yarn). I offer top-quality Pony crochet hooks, made of 100% natural bamboo, which are smooth, strong, flexible and warm to the touch.

Like all my crochet patterns, the pattern is available in UK crochet terms or US crochet terms. If you're not sure which you need, just ask and I'll help you choose.

The whole kit is designed to be as sustainable as I can make it, and is beautifully presented, and so makes a great gift for a crafty or eco-minded friend.
• box - 70% recycled, reusable, recyclable
• printer paper, labels and tissue - 100% recycled, recyclable
• tags and business cards - handmade from cereal packets, etc, recyclable

If you choose the natural wool stuffing, this kit will be entirely plastic-free.

★ ---How Easy is this Kit? --- ★
🟩 This kit is rated Advanced Beginner/Easy. It is suitable for anyone who has made a start with crocheting and has learnt the most basic stitches. It’s perfect for practising your new crochet skills.

★ ---Customization --- ★
Please make sure you read all the options below and don’t forget to enter your choices in the "Notes to Seller" box at checkout (this is necessary because Etsy only gives us two drop-down lists to use). Failure to do so will delay me being able to dispatch your kit.

Choose the four colours of organic cotton yarn for your rings.

Choose whether to include the 3.5mm bamboo crochet hook in your kit.

Please specify the type of stuffing to include in the "Notes to Seller" box at checkout.

Please also specify in the "Notes to Seller" box at checkout which version of the pattern you would like to receive: UK or US.

If you'd like a different combination of colours to those shown, let me know using the "Request a custom order" link above and we can discuss your requirements with no obligation.

★ ---Gift Wrapping --- ★
If you'd like this item sent directly to someone else as a gift, that's no problem, just choose this option for free when checking out.

You can also choose to have the kit gift-wrapped at checkout. I use 100% recycled tissue, paper tape (varies seasonally), a 100% recycled cotton tie and an up-cycled cardboard tag to complete your eco-friendly gift.
