This is a PDF pattern with step-by-step instructions (with pictures) detailing how to make the toy set, the pattern is in American crochet terms. The files will be available immediately after purchase, including instructions for the 6 bugs, 9 flowers, and a play-mat (that turns into a draw string bag to hold the flower petals and bugs). Two PDF styles will be made available, one with pictures and one without pictures to make it more printer friendly.

I had a lot of fun creating this toy and hope you do too!
