There was a spelling error in the original pattern. I corrected it, and this now has the updated pattern link
Thanks to everyone who emailed me about the spelling error in the original pattern. It is easy for me to become blind to an error if I don't see it in my first edit. Your emails help.
I had a request to make a League Bowling Trophy. They did not just want a generic style trophy, so I designed this pattern. It is close to 2 feet long.
You can also just make a simpler version that is not a trophy for a friend or family member who enjoys bowling.
Sorry, I did not get to make the female version, but I ran out of time. I'll revisit that idea later.
A short history of Bowling.
Bowling’s roots go way back—thousands of years. Archaeologists have found small balls and pin-like objects in ancient Egypt that suggest a “roll a ball at targets” game was being played long before modern lanes existed. Versions of bowling-like games also showed up across Europe over the centuries, especially in Germany and the Netherlands, where people rolled stones or wooden balls at pins (often tied to church or folk traditions). The game that most resembles today’s bowling grew out of these European styles and traveled with immigrants to North America, where it evolved into a popular social pastime in cities and taverns.
Modern ten-pin bowling really took shape in the United States in the 1800s. “Nine-pin” was so popular that some places tried to ban it (mostly because of gambling), and one workaround was simply adding a tenth pin—helping ten-pin become the standard. As the sport got organized, the American Bowling Congress (founded in 1895) helped standardize rules and lane specs, and bowling leagues exploded in the early-to-mid 1900s. Automatic pinsetters (widely adopted after the 1950s) made the game faster and more consistent, fueling a huge boom in bowling centers—turning it into the classic league-night, neon-sign, snack-bar American pastime we know today.

After payment, you will receive an email with the download link. This is a large file. You should not attempt to download it on a tablet or smartphone. It is a compressed file that will need to be extracted to your hard drive. Basic computer skills are necessary to extract the file.
