Today’s toy is a crocheted Santa gnome, or gonk. Design by Hooked by Kati. Using Bernat’s holiday cotton, Red Heart super saver, Hobby Lobby’s Yarn ID, and a 3 mm hook, I love making Christmas items. It is joyful to use Christmas colors and sparkle yarn. The Bernat yarn is cotton with sparkle, the red and the white. I added the Pom Pom and maybe it is too large? The toy also has floral stones so it sits well.

Today’s toy is a crocheted octopus. Design by Darling Maple Designs. Using Bernat blanket, Premier just chenille, and a 4.5 mm hook, this is a black version of the octopus like a kraken. To make the eyes stand out, I put yellow yarn around the eyes. Great pattern! With the blanket yarn, it doesn’t need…
Today’s item is a crocheted hanging plant with strawberries. I made one before but it was too long for the rearview mirror. This one is smaller. Design by Nghiem Khanh Ninh, but I made many modifications. Using acrylic yarn for the pot and cords and a 3 mm hook, I didn’t increase as much as…
