The Florina the Flower Fidget by Hooks and Whisks is a no-sew pattern that makes a daisy-like flower with petals that “pop” in and out like the popular fidget toys that are sold in stores. This pattern works up really quickly and uses limited supplies, which makes it perfect for market-prepping or last-minute gifts. These flowers would also be great for gifts for teachers with Teacher Appreciation Week right around the corner! I highly recommend you try out this adorable pattern!

Pacific Disc Stingray – Crochet Pattern Review
I have no good reason for making this stingray other than it is adorable! I was perusing Etsy for some new patterns when this little creature popped up on my feed and I was instantly in love! His big eyes, his squishy body and his tiny smile stole my heart and I had to make one of my own…which was then promptly confiscated by my daughter for the same irresistible reasons. Even the dog wanted him for herself!
Large Divided Dice Bag – Crochet Pattern Review
This is a very creative pattern! I appreciated the techniques used in this pattern like how to get a nice even circle without awkward corners. If you’re worried about a lot of sewing, it really isn’t as bad as it looks! You join most of the pieces together with crochet, instead of sewing with your needle. I also like that it has a fun texture on the sides of the main bag as well.
Snow the Duck – Crochet Pattern Review
The Snow the Duck pattern is a relatively easy, almost no-sew pattern that works up quickly. It can be made with varying weights of yarn for differing sizes of ducks, and the finished product is absolutely adorable. The pattern features an optional headband that raises the level of cuteness for this little squishy duck to new levels. If you are in spring market-prep mode or just want to make one of these for a duck-lover that you know, I would highly recommend you try out this pattern.
Bobble Pop Fidget Toy – Crochet Pattern Review
Fidget toys are nothing new. But when I came across this, I was drawn to it for a couple specific reasons: when the bobbles “pop” it is quiet. I know that the satisfying popping sound can be part of the allure to the traditional toys. But when the kids (or grown-ups, if we are being honest) need something to tinker with but sound isn’t appropriate, this is an excellent alternative. I also like that it has a different texture than smooth silicone. It’s still soft yet coarse; great for those with sensory-seeking needs.
Itty Bitty Mushie Pop – Crochet Pattern Review
The Itty Bitty Mushie Pops pattern by Cable + Canvas met all of my criteria for the perfect market prep make. They work up super quickly, use very little materials, can be made in a variety of colors, and are super cute! I am so excited to make up a whole collection of these adorable mushroom fidget toys, and I am sure my customers are going to love them! My three and five year old children are already obsessed!

Turtle Memory Game – Crochet Pattern Review
The Turtle Memory Game crochet pattern by Stitched by Shari includes directions to make a bag-like mama turtle that holds 12-20 baby turtles. Each of the babies has a colored circle on its belly, and the babies are made in pairs so kids of all ages can practice matching with them. This pattern is such an ingenious idea, that it is no wonder it has blown up in popularity!
Belly Friend Giraffe – Crochet Pattern Review
This Belly Friend Giraffe by Madeline Mae Co. is not only one of the cutest stuffed toys ever, but it’s chunky belly and massive size make it quite the showstopper! This is my fourth time working up this pattern, and I absolutely love how the finished pattern turns out every time!
