Today’s toy is a crocheted bird. Design by Chantelle @onescreativemind. Using many different cotton yarn scraps and a 3 mm hook, I was trying to make Foghorn Leghorn from Looney Tunes for my husband. My husband said that he should have a big body and a small head. That’s how he can throw around the bulldog in the cartoon. LOL The pattern has you needlefelt the beak and she has a video showing the way she did it. I just made up the beak on my own.
Today’s toy is another Hoppy the bunny I designed and crocheted. I am still working on the pattern for the Huggable Heart, so I haven’t started the Hoppy pattern yet.

The eyes, only 12, fingers, 4, then 6, then 2 rounds, middle finger: 4, then 6, then 3 rounds. Joining the fingers, only 18 stitches around,…
Today’s toy is a crocheted horse. I thought I would make a zebra with the monkey lovey pattern. The hexagon body is so good! I used a marl yarn, Bernat blanket, and my family agreed that a zebra needs stripes, so this is a horse. Using Bernat blanket and a 4.5 mm hook, this toy…
