Today’s toy is a crocheted gnome. Design by Kristi Simpson. Using Scheepjes catona cotton, Yarn Art Jeans, and a 2 mm hook, this was fun to make. It turned out small.

Today’s toy is a crocheted jellyfish. Design by Lauren Espy. Using Lion Brand ice cream yarn, red heart super saver, and a 3 mm hook, this was fun to make, surprisingly. You get to hide all of the ends inside the toy. There are different kinds of strips hanging down. Self striping yarn helps make…
Today’s toy is a crocheted bald eagle. The pattern is Franklin the Bald Eagle by Tiffany Horton. Using crafter’s square acrylic, Hobbii’s rainbow 8/4 cotton, Jeans yarn, and a 2 mm hook, I crocheted this for my great niece who is graduating from HS and going to college where the mascot is a green eagle.
