Today’s toy is a crocheted cat. My design. Using Premier Bloom chenille yarn and 4.5 mm hook, I wanted to see if the yarn shedded with crochet as badly as knitting. Yes, it does.

Today’s toy is a snake requested by Aunt Kate. I like to crochet snakes with self-striping yarn, but I always make the tongue in red. pipe cleaners were used and I only stuffed the head so I could get the diamonds shape for the eyes. A few more stitches were added around at the tail,…
Today’s toy is a crocheted bird I found on Instagram, but it is made with plush yarn from Big Twist instead of the recommended yarn. I added feet and loops on the top. I would rather make it with the thinner yarn. the Instagram account is olga_roskoshnaya.
