Crochet a school of Crochet Flying Fish Water Balloons using Bernat Blanket Yarn. This pattern was created by my assistant, Laura Jean Bartholomew. I challenged Laura Jean to create and free pattern. Behind the scenes, we had fun thinking of what to name these fish. We came up with Flying Fish because these are meant for a Water Balloon Toss.

I know what you are thinking… What’s the point right? Actually, there’s a whole lot of great points about these.

Unlike real balloons, you won’t have the latex of balloons that some people are allergic to.

You don’t have broken balloon rubbers to find and pick up. So you don’t have to worry about your pets eating left overs or even your children swallowing parts of balloons.

The yarn is so plush and soft, it’s not rough to be hit with these. Unless you are having that objective. Like always, have common sense.

When you are finished, if they need to be washed, just toss them in the washer. If they don’t. Just hang dry. If using a dryer, just ring out the excessive water and toss in the dryer.

Like anything made of material, don’t let sit in it’s own water or leave damp for extended periods of time as mould or mildew will start.

So these are meant to be reusable for family fun.
