Bev’s Crocheted Flying disc
Pattern/photos Copyright

For winter days,
rainy days, or sunny days! This flying disc isn't like any other you might have
used!
The uniquely
designed "BEV-edge" makes it aero-dynamic and it just flies through
the air as you toss it!
Play
with this in the house on rainy or snowy days because it is soft and safe.
Also, because you can stuff them in your purse or pocket they are terrific for
taking to the beach, on picnics, for those 10 minute breaks families need to
make when traveling, or play with them in the pool - yup they work when wet
too!
MATERIALS:
100 yards of Worsted Weight
(#4) yarn (2 strands held together)
Size I-9 (5.5 mm) hook
Chain 3 does not count as a
dc.
Abbreviations: Ch = chain, sl st = slip stitch, st = stitch,
dc = double crochet
2 strands of
yarn held together throughout.
Ch 4 and join with a slip stitch to form a loop.
Round 1: Ch 3 (does not count as a
dc) then make 12 dcs inside the loop.
Join with a sl st to top of 1st dc, ch 3. (12 dc)
Round 2: Make a dc in base of ch
3. 2 dc in each dc around, join with a
sl st to top of 1st dc, ch 3. (24 dc)
Round 3: Make a dc in base of ch
3. *dc in next st, 2 dc in next st. Repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to
top of 1st dc, ch 3. (36 dc)
(Skip to Edge round if you want to make a
mini-Frizbee. )
Round 4: Make a dc in base of ch 3. *dc in next 2 sts, 2 dc in next st. Repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to top of 1st dc, ch 3. (48 dc)
The “Bev Edge” (Now, you
can change to just one color if you wish, still using 2 strands.) The last round is a “reverse
crochet” (crab stitch). This makes for a sturdier edge and helps the Bev’s
Frizbee soar through the air!
It’s the same as a regular single crochet but
instead of going counter clockwise (for right handed people), you are now going
around clockwise, so to the right. See
photo.
♥ Insert hook (from front to
back) into last dc you made and wrap yarn around, pull through, wrap yarn
around and pull through the 2 loops to complete a reverse sc.
End off joining with a sl st. Cut yarn, Weave in any ends.
