How do you make yo yo's?

[kimble73]

I know how to make yoyo's out of fabric but how do you crochet them?

Also another quesion is what other things can I crochet for craft show's besides the usual things like pot holders, dishclothes, I want to make something different

I found 2 pattern's from Lion Brand website one is knit though it is a table runner so I might make some of those and the other one is a one hour crocheted potholder I know this is one of the usual items, but it works up fast and I have never made a potholder before. I did lots of dishclothes. I am terrible crocheting in rounds and I did want to make round coasters so if anyone has a easy pattern or can explain in simple terms how to crochet in the rounds, I have a feeling I won't be able to crochet yoyo's for this reason:( they are in rounds to aren't they. Anyways bye for now. Sandy

I don't know how to make yo-yo's so I can't help you with that, sorry.

Another thing might be scrunchies - I made a whole mess of them yesterday (LOL) and they took 15-20 minutes apiece to do. Very quick and you can make pairs to sell, or sell individually.

Oh man! Just looking at all those tiny yo-yo motif's that need to be joined makes my head ache! Good Luck and lots of patience to you and yours! LOL
