The Bubbling Cauldron was the Day 3 pattern from the Halloween Mini Amigurumi Crochet Along. I have been having some website issues and this particular pattern was flagged and removed from my blog. I am in the process of trying to get it back up, and hopefully it will be soon, but in the meantime I know people have been trying to find the pattern and it is not there so I decided I would repost the pattern so that it is available somewhere while I try to get the issue figured out. 

Most of the time technology is great, but stuff like this is the less fun part of technology. I appreciate your patience as I try to get this issue sorted. The original post will still be there when it is fixed so eventually that link will work again, this one will just hopefully allow access to the pattern in the meantime.

Take your bubbling brew piece that you made earlier and place it on top of the cauldron opening, work the next round through both layers, the last row of the brew and the stitches from round 13, both have 24 stitches so they should match up, each stitch you make you will insert your hook through both the brew and the corresponding stitch on the cauldron.
