Pink Anemone Oasis Pattern for the Maine Crochet Reef Project

Here is my  newest creation and one I was able to keep track of as I made it so I can pass it on to you.
I love this little piece! It stands a little over 8" tall and the base is about 6" across.

As with all of my pieces, I have mostly been using my mom's leftover yarn stash that has been building for years. This is sport weight acrylic baby yarn in pink. The turquoise is also acrylic in worsted weight and the trim is #10 cotton crochet thread.

The anemone's are done using a G hook and the base with a J hook.
