What is yo-yo crochet?
Yo-yo crochet is basically a small circle crochet pattern which can begin with a ring or chains to create two different types of yo-yo crochet motifs. One type is the basic yo-yo and the other is the yo-yo puff.
To learn the basics, step-by-step instructions and videos on how to make basic and yo-yo puffs, check out our page devoted to crochet yo-yos.

Any of the yo-yos can be joined either as they are being made or the yo-yos made first and then joined together afterward. This is a great scrap buster!
