Free pattern – mini science glassware

Hello crochet friends! I was first inspired by science week to create those iconic scientific containers. This year, I have decided to also make this pattern available for free here for the International Day for Women and Girls in Science. As a scientist myself, I am very lucky to be part of a team of amazing scientist women and I think we can achieve anything we set our mind to! This pattern includes a test tube, a round bottom flask and a Petri dish, and are a great size for your little amigurumi to become scientists.

You can also find this pattern as a printable PDF for a small fee by clicking the button below.
