Today’s crocheted toy is a butterfly. By Ana Velga, I used soft secret yarn from Hobby Lobby in violet and mist. 3 mm crochet hook The wings in the pattern called for slip stitch around the outside, but I did a slip stitch, chain 1. I prefer that edging. The eyes were done by stitching a triangle and then wrapping yarn around the sides to create a ball shape sticking out for bug eyes. I like the effect. This was a fun pattern and I will make it again.

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.
