Today’s toy is a crocheted crab. It is the pattern, amigurumi crab by Lauren Espy. Using Red Heart super saver yarn in cherry red and a 3 mm hook, this was easy to make.

I have embroidered snowflakes before so it wasn’t difficult, but tricky the first time you…

Today’s toy is a crocheted pumpkin candy holder. Design by Craftingintx. Using Bernat blanket, mainstays cozy chenille, and a 4.5 mm hook, I used the colors of candy corn with my pumpkin pattern. I will give these toys out for Halloween. I hope they are well received.
