May 12: Sadie the sailor dog
Today’s toy is a crocheted dog dressed as a sailor. This design is by Rico design. Using Hobbii’s rainbow 8/4 cotton and a 2.5 mm hook, this dog took no time at all. I put pipe cleaners in the life preserver. When I changed colors on the shirt, arms and ring, I crocheted into the v of the stitch instead of the top. I think that gives a better line. There is also wire in the body so he can sit. I don’t like how the tail looks since the color changes are not centered.
