Pretty Little Things 34 Board Games Pattern

Gather family and friends, young and old, for a casual social and enjoy some old-school fun with a board game night. The three projects in Pretty Little Things 34 – Board Games pay tribute to classics that have been enjoyed around tables for generations. Set the mood with Sarah-Jane Hicks’ Crocheted Chess King and Queen. These iconic figures will look fabulous on the tabletop set amongst the snacks. Littler guests will love having their chairs made comfy with squidgy knitted Noughts and Crosses Cushions. Designed by Cher Marcus, they have jumbo-sized playing pieces that attach - so there’ll be no excuses for losing any! Sewers can create a games compendium with Liz Barraclough’s Reversible Quilted Games Board. Play chess or chequers on one side, turn it over and it will cleverly transform into a dice tray!

Queen and King Chess Piece. Chess Pieces are worked using amigurumi method: work sts continuously in a spiral without closing each round with ss. Mark first st of each round with st marker, moving it up as you go. Stuff Chess Pieces as you go. Skipped chs do not count as st(s) throughout.
