Amigurumi Pool Floaty Pattern

Hey everyone! Welcome back to another Free Pattern Friday!! This week I have such a weird but fun little pattern! I can honestly say I have no idea what possessed me to make an amigurumi pool floaty pattern. I was just falling asleep one night and thought “Heh. What if cups could wear floaties…. I could totally make that” and then I woke up and decided I absolutely had to make floaties for my cups. They can’t actually float, but I giggled like a maniac the entire time I was designing them, so… #worthit.

Anyway. This pattern is super duper easy and quick to make, if just a little awkward to hold while you’re crocheting. I really like making these in really bright colors, it makes them feel very summery and we don’t get too much summer here in the Pacific Northwest so, it’s just extra fun! I made two different sizes for this pattern, the smaller one fits the average soda can size and the larger one fits my 32 oz Hydro flask, so it's a touch bigger! I've lost my measuring tape, so as soon as I find it, I'll update with actual measurements!

Tie off, leaving a long tail for sewing.

Ring:

Essentially this piece is one long tube, You should have 5 sections of either color and they will all be 5 rows long. I like to stuff as I go, so it’s nice and evenly stuffed. Make sure not to overstuff or it will be hard to turn your tube into a circle.

Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Being sure not to twist the tube, (essentially, just making sure all of the nice sides of the color changes are all facing the same way) sew the two open ends of the tube together. Stuffing the last little bit as you go. Making sure the “jog” in the color changes (if you have one) is faced toward the bottom so that the pretty part is faced up. Then, pin the base to that same said where the “jog” is. Then all you have to do is sew the base down and you’re all done!
