Today I crocheted a toy. I started making a triangle toy that I saw on a podcast. I wanted it to have hair and the triangle shape. Of course it came out as a cone shape. I had to change colors because I was working with minis and as I changed to the third color it looked like a shirt and pants, so I used the color of the shirt for the arms and the color of the pants for the legs. I added the orange hair. Simple eyes and mouth with black yarn. I used a 3 mm crochet hook.
Today’s toy is a butterfly that I had to size down since I was using Hobbii’s Honey Bunny Candy yarn that is a bulky weight. I crocheted with a 5 mm hook and used the blue and purple. I don’t recall what I did to resize the pattern and I didn’t write it down. When…
Today’s toy is a crocheted elf doll. Design by the left handed crocheter. Using Big Twist, Red Heart, Hobbii rainbow cotton, and a 3 mm hook, this was fun to make. My trick for jogless joins was recorded but it wasn’t good. I will probably make a boy elf and record again.

Today’s toy is a crocheted candy corn to hold candy for Halloween. Design by CraftinginTx. I designed this for a trick or treaters gift.

Today’s toy is a crocheted loaf cat. Design by No Catchy Name. Using Bernat blanket yarn and a 4.5 mm hook, this was fun to make. I used another pattern for the eyes and used friendship bracelet cotton for the eyes and nose. The notes are on my Ravelry project page. https://www.ravelry.com/projects/CraftingInTx/loaf-cat
I had some green yarn in three colors and I had the mustard color, so I decided to try making a turtle. I started with the shell, increased to 30 and then increased to 36 in front loop only, then two rounds sc, then the crab stitch. Then I picked up for the belly of…
