Today’s toy is a crocheted monkey. The pattern is by Mariska Vos-Bolman and is written for many weights of yarn. Using Hobby Lobby’s soft secret yarn and a 2 mm crochet hook, this toy is small. The muzzle doesn’t look like the picture in the pattern, but my aunt guessed that it was a monkey. It was a different body shape.

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,…
Today’s toy is a crocheted ear of corn with a face. Design by Joey Diehl. Using Bernat blanket, Big Twist, and a 4.5 mm hook, this was fun to make, but needed adjustment. I think it was the different textures of yarn, but the corn didn’t fit into the husk. Super cute if you are…
