Pattern Notes: The fire is made up of individual flames which are stitched together at the end. Each flame

is made with two separate identical pieces which are sewn together and then very lightly stuffed to give

some rigidity to the fire and enable it to stand freely.

The campfire set is to scale and when displayed with logs and pebbles around the campfire it has a

diameter of approximately 35 cm.

The turning chains count as a stitch throughout the pattern. A stitch marker can be used to place into the

turning chains making it easier to identify on the next row or round.

When crocheting into foundation chains throughout the pattern, go under both top strands unless otherwise

stated.
