Crochet Water Balloons

Want to try something new this summer? Try working up some Crochet Water Balloons! These have the same effect as traditional water balloons but without the waste and cleanup of broken water balloon strips. User a super bulky yarn for extra squish and absorbency and you'll be amazed at how fun these crocheted water balloons are! Plus, this way you'll be saving money and trips to the store for more water balloons since you can just reuse these as often as you want.

From the Blogger: "Did you know that you can crochet water "balloons"? These water balloons are awesome! By making them with Bernat Blanket Brights, you get classically colorful water balloons that are super absorbent and squishy! This also means that they are washable, reusable, dryer safe, latex free, and eco friendly. No more spending time filling water balloons- just drop these in a bucket of water and you are ready to go! Make them for some summer fun or for your next summer craft fair.

Make this one and I think you'll want another, and another, and another.. Size: As shown, approximately 56” wingspan x 21” tall Worked in fine/sock weight yarn

The C2C princess carriage cushion crochet pattern easy skill level. You'll need to know the C2C technique before starting as this is a pattern not a tutorial. Each block is made up of 3 dc. Ive included the C2C graph to this post for free. If you prefer written instructions along side a graph you can purchase my printable PDF from my Etsy or Ravelry store. To make the C2C princess carriage cushion I used DK (weight 3) yarn in four colours and a 4mm crochet hook. You'll also need a 18” square cushion. Don't forget it's important to remember to do your gauge swatch before starting if you want your cushion to fit.
