This little dice is a great way to use up scrap yarn. The dots on the dice to represent the numbers are made using French knots. However, you could easily substitute small buttons in their place as I did in my first version of this pattern. Surprisingly, the dice aren’t loaded, as I thought they might be given there are different weightings due to the different number of dots on each side.

While I’ve written this pattern for DK yarn and a 3.5 mm hook, you can use any other weight of yarn with an appropriate hook for this (just make sure all your yarn is the same weight). You can also make the dice bigger if you like by adding more rounds to each face. However, if you make the dice too much bigger, you may wish to add buttons rather than French knots for the numbers as it may look a little out of proportion.
