Today’s crocheted toy is little cat from Julia Litvin. Using Hobby Lobby’s Yarn Bee Yarn ID in Rosewater and a 3 mm hook, I crocheted the arms and knitted an icord for the tail before I made the body. That way, I could attach the arms and tail as I was crocheting the body. I will make more of these. Very nice pattern on Etsy.
Today’s toy is Barry the bass, a crocheted fish. This design is by Theresa’s crochet shop. Using Bernat blanket and a 4.5 mm hook, this fish was fun to make. The construction with the mouth inside the fish was a great design. There were many pieces that I think could be done with surface crochet….
Today’s toy is Huggable heart. I designed this heart. Holding two strands of Hobby Lobby’s Yarn Bee Soft Secret for the heart and Walmart’s Mainstays Chenille Chunky for the arms and legs. Using a 4 mm hook for the heart and 6.5 mm hook for the arms and legs. I will have the pattern soon.
Today’s toy is a crocheted elephant. Design by Natalina Craft. Using Colassal and a 9 mm hook, this yarn was just too big to make anything. You will notice the trunk is just too bulky! I had tried a few projects with this yarn and finally it is a toy. I altered the pattern for…
Today’s toy is the knitted winter mouse by Jean Greenhowe. Using Hobbii’s rainbow 8/4 cotton, Sheepjes catona, and size 2 needles, this was a joy to make. Love making toys that are Christmas themed. The thing she is holding is a package.
Today, I crocheted the Northern Cardinal Keychain, by Suzanne Boulet. I use Paton’s chunky, scraps I had. Love the bright red color and stitch definition. I like that the beak and tail are crocheted on and not separate pieces. Love the simple but beautiful wings. I added the feet, just ch 7, slip in second…
Today’s toy is a crocheted elf house with removable lid. Design by Knitting Love on YouTube. Using Bernat blanket, Bernat velvet, Premier Just Chenille, Red Heart super saver, and a 4.5 mm hook, this item was reasonably quick to make. I like doing all of the embellishments, the windows and door.
