Fun Facts About Clownfish

Clownfish are also called anemonefish because of their symbiotic relationship with anemone. They are located in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Clownfish live in groups and only the dominant male and female are able to reproduce. Clownfish are born male and can become female when the dominant female dies.

We’ve given this pattern an “easy” rating. It’s a great project for a beginner. However, there are quite a few pieces to sew so you’ll need to set aside a few hours to complete it. We purposefully designed this clownfish sewing pattern to be easy, approachable and fun for sewing enthusiasts of all ages.

There are different kinds of felt: synthetic, wool, wool blends. We talk about that briefly in the pattern.

We include various tips and tricks for things we’ve learned as we’ve stitched our own school of clownfish stuffed animals.

The pattern uses two sewing stitches: whip stitch and applique stitch. We’ve included links to some videos that demonstrate those stitches in case you’re not already familiar with them.

We’ve photographed our hand sewn clownfish in a coral reef that was hand made with yarn on pin looms. There is no pattern for this scene, but there is a pin loom pattern for a gnome with hammerhead shark hat in our Etsy Shop.

About Shark Attack Gnome Pin Loom Pattern

The assembled gnome measures about 18″ tall x 7″ wide x 5 1/2″ deep.

The pattern provides a chart of how many shapes are needed and in what color so you can weave them all ahead of time before you begin assembling the project. The yarn used was Lion Brand Basic Stitch.

There are helpful tips in the pattern. For the beard, for example, the pattern will mentioned that the yarn should be attached above the nose so the shark hat covers it. And that a metal cat comb was used to separate the strands making the beard appear more full. And a steam iron will help straighten out the yarn.

The shark is created separately and sits on the gnome like a hat.

The pattern includes a tutorial for making 2 different types of starfish. These were made on 1″ square looms.

Though the pattern is for your eyes only, we encourage you to give away or sell your finished projects.

Enjoy!

Pin Loom Diary: Floral Afghans Pattern

Flower Blankets to Pin Loom Weave

First you make one flower, then another. Before you know it, you have a garden of flowers and a little bee, too!

We’ll confess, the first blanket we wove was the detailed one. It has 9 flowers and 1 bee. And it takes 7 pin loom shapes including squares, triangles and rectangles. And we love it. And we wanted every pin loom weaver to make one. But….not all pin loom weavers have 7 pin looms let alone the ones used in this pattern. So, a more simplified version was created. And it uses only 2 looms. Now everyone can weave their own flower garden!

About the Pin Loom Flower Afghan Pattern

This is great for beginners and experienced weavers alike as every shape is woven in plain weave.

There are two blankets in this Pin Loom Diary: Floral Afghans Pattern available in our Etsy Shop. Each has it’s own unique design and appeal.

Blanket A is the simple version with 5 flowers and a bee. The flowers are larger and the border is a solid color. It uses only 2 pin looms. The finished afghan measures approximately 56″x76″.

Blanket B is a more detailed version and has 9 flowers with stems and a bee. The flowers are smaller to allow space for leaves and stems. It uses 7 pin looms. The background and border on the detailed blanket is more quilt-like with pops of color sprinkled throughout. The finished afghan measures approximately 48″x72″.

What’s Included in the pattern:

  • 2 Flower Afghan Patterns
  • 16 pages
  • Charts of flowers and bees
  • Table of each shape, color and quantity needed for each motif
  • Table of total number of shapes, color and quantity needed for each blanket
  • Complete materials list
  • Pattern for simple flowers: sunflower, tulip, daffodil, daisy, zinnias
  • Pattern for detailed flowers: tulip, delphinium, daisy, daffodil, sunflower, indian paintbrush, calla lily, zinnia, poppy
