I really had fun making (and playing with) this Frisbee.
After some
proto-types, this was the best flyer and safest for indoor flying.
This is a very easy
pattern, and should take less than 2 hours.
Being so light weight, it is relatively
safe for indoor flying.
And yes, it really does fly!
Great fun for any
age, indoors or outside.
To personalize, or
just to make them holiday festive, you can add appliques to the center.
A little Bow or
Necktie applique for Father’s Day, would be cute.
Initials, hearts,
shamrocks, flowers, stars, pumpkins are some other choices that might be good,
too.
But just plain is
great, also.
Enjoy!

Note: Rnd 12 will not show on finished Frisbee. It is tucked inside.
If you wish, you can
omit Rnd 12 and the Frisbee will still fly.
But I think it is
weighted a bit better if it is included.
Finishing:
Fold Rnd 12 under and sew the first free loop of Rnd 9 to the first free
loop of 11.
[Note: I put the needle under the free loop on Rnd 9
and up through the matching free loop on Rnd 11.
As I go around I keep
tucking Rnd 12 under to the inside.]
