Love Koi Plushies FREE Sewing Pattern

Love Koi Plushies FREE Sewing Pattern

This project was both inspired by the Japanese pun where ‘koi’ means both ‘carp’ and ‘love’ and the beautiful yin-yang moon-spirit carp from Avatar: The Last Airbender. Together the carp nestle into a yin-yang pattern, and their matching markings form a heart shape. A wonderful gift for someone you love.
