Building your page:
Using the tails of each applique, whip-stitch each piece into place!
The Clams:
Whip-stitch the clams 3 in row – use photos as guide
Only the bottom half is sewed on to the page 🙂
Optional – Glue/Sew or Embroider on some eyes
Sew the buttons onto the bottom half as shown in the photos.
This is a fun and interactive page –
Use to play “Memory Match” or “Hide & Seek”
Use to play “Memory Match” or “Hide & Seek”
Use the ‘Fishnet’ to store the playing pieces.
My playing pieces are store bought wooden buttons;
but you can use the crochet fishes from Part Two or
crochet little pearl balls for the “Hide & Seek” game 🙂
There are many possibilities!

I have been a crochet designer for more than 10 years. I love to think outside the box and to try and do things a bit differently. I love to learn new techniques and to challenge myself. I firmly believe that crochet should fun and evoke joy and pleasure. Creating and designing is one of my life's passions.
