Today’s toy is a crocheted bear. Design be Michele Wilcox. It is the January bear and it is supposed to be white, but I had one skein of Big Twist Living yarn. The yarn is worsted weight and I used a 3 mm hook. It is an older pattern so there is a lot of sewing. I don’t mind sewing. I did a bpsc to make a flat hand and I defined the toes on the feet.
Today’s toy is a crocheted pig. Pattern by Lonemer Creations. Using Premier bloom chenille yarn and a 5 mm hook, this pig turned out super squishy. Still, no stuffing shows through. I always turn it into a no sew pattern by just surface crocheting a circle for the legs. I ran out of one of…
Today’s toy is a crocheted zebra. I love these patterns crocheted flat and seamed. They are so cute and simple. The pattern is by Esther Graafland, also known as Studio Madelaine.

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…
Today’s toy is an octopus. I am using acrylic minis and sometimes I run out before finishing a toy, so with the octopus, I crocheted the body in blue, the belly in pink, and the tentacles in purple. I shared a picture with family and got no response. It is cute! This toy didn’t have…
