Today’s toy is a crocheted cat. Just the head for holding candy for Halloween. I designed this and I am pleased with the face. Using Bernat blanket yarn, acrylic yarn for the face, and a 4.5 mm hook, the ears were simple and the hardest part is constructing the eyes and nose. I decided on green eyes and a pink nose.
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 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….
Today’s toy is a crocheted bear. I couldn’t resist the colors in this yarn, but I did not enjoy it crocheted. It turns out too dark in pictures. The pattern is by me, just playing around with shapes. The yarn is Bernat blanket in pink and Mainstays velvet in blue multi, using a 5.5 mm…
