I have been crocheting and knitting many hearts this month to give to family members. I have seen on Pinterest hearts that are turned on the side and adding cat features to them. I did this for two. I also did a bunny. Today’s toy is a cat heart I am giving to my SIL, Jean. I knitted the heart with kitchen cotton and sequin thread held together. I then crocheted the ears, cheeks, and tail. The finished heart is nice!
Today’s toy is a crocheted black cat. Design by Craftingintx. Using Bernat blanket and a 4.5 mm hook, I used the measurements of a cat I made with thinner acrylic yarn. That pattern had no front legs, but I added them. I used cotton yarn for the green eyes.

Today’s toy is Hoppy the bunny. I woke up very early one day this week and decided to design a bunny that had no stuffing. There are many floppy toys out there and I know someone would appreciate no stuffing. Since I still used a tight gauge, the toy does sit up on its own….

This is the pattern she published in 2022 with cotton yarn, not plush yarn like I used. I am just trying to use up the bulky yarn because I prefer to crochet with worsted…
Today’s toy is a knitted bear. Using a pattern that is supposed to use Bloom yarn by Premier, I used the variegated yarn that I am still trying to use up! The pattern is knit flat and then seamed. I have never had an issue with that method, even for sweaters. I guess I am…
Today’s toy is a knitted pig, but I crocheted all of the extra parts. The pig was knitted as a ball and then I crocheted four legs, a snout, ears, and a curly tail. Used Bernat velvet in quiet pink and Big Twist plush in black. I am pleased with this toy, very squishy.
Today’s toy is Bonnie, an experiment in different shapes in a toy. I crocheted her with large feet and stubby legs. There are even toes! She has a barrel body, with her head attached. A foam roller was placed in her neck for stability. I played around with the ears and gave her three loops…
