I had one of these years ago.
I wasn’t an expert or anything.
But I remember it was fun.
Jane Austen loved to play Bilbocatch with her nieces and nephews.
And as I hear it, she was really good at it.
This toy can be fun for boys and girls at any age (4 to 104).

The goal of the game is to get the ball in the cup:
Hold the handle and let the ball hang free.
Then swing the ball up, and aim for the cup.
One point is made for every successful catch.
When there is a miss, the points revert to zero.
See how many points you can get.

Keep your eye on the ball.
With a bit of practice, it can be mastered.
ENJOY!

The pattern uses about 60 yards of worsted weight yarn.
And it should only take a few hours to make.
I updated the pattern: August 2018
