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.
