Crochet Dice Tray Pattern
How I crocheted a custom dice tray for my mahjong set
This year, I have ventured into the world of Mahjong. My friends invited me to play, and of course, I immediately needed my own set. In my journey of putting together my own set, I wondered how I could crochet something to bring my hobbies together. Finally, I tried this cute little tray for my dice, and it was the perfect combo! Great size for the corner of your mat and without getting in the way. Also lightweight and can be stuffed in your bag with your tiles no problem.
A handmade mahjong accessory would make the perfect gift for your girlfriends! Make a few for your next game night that match everyone’s mats and tiles! Of course, you can use your mini tray for whatever little treasures you would like. I made one for my mom to hold her rings by her bed, and it looked adorable! Hope this creation makes you smile!
