Today’s toy is a crocheted penguin. Design by Hakiyazart on Instagram. Using Bernat blanket, Mainstays cozy chenille, and a 4.5 mm hook, I did a zipper chain around the colorwork on the face. @nocatchyname, Ella, didn’t like the look of the colorwork changes on the face, so I thought I would try the pattern.

Today’s toy is a crocheted duck. Design by Nina Leon. Using Hobby Lobby’s soft secret, acrylic yarn from Amazon, and a 2.5 mm hook, this was a quick make. I would love to see it in a blanket yarn.
Today’s toy is out of order because I wanted to include it for Easter. The toy is a crocheted container in the shape of a bunny gnome. The pattern is by Olga Chemerys. I used Big Twist in white and Soft Secret yarn in pink and butter. I put candy in it and gave it…
