Fancy a bit myth in your life? If the answer is yes, join my club. I have been an aficionado of gods and mythical creatures, an eternal charm and appeal that continuously amazes me.
Therefore, this is my first effort of bringing one of my most favorite group of mythical superiors—the Olympian gods—to mix with another passion of mine—crocheting.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. You can buy the crochet pattern PDF downloads on Etsy, and make your own god and goddess in no time.
