Today’s toy is a crocheted axolotl. Design by Sweet Softies. Using Lion Brand’s mandala sparkle, knit picks cotlin, and a 2.5 mm hook, this is a great pattern. It is quick and no sew. The only issue is that. Don’t want to make any other colors. Pink it is.
Today’s toy is a crocheted walrus. Back at Christmas, I bought a booklet of amigurumi patterns from Leisure Arts, Vanna’s Choice easy crochet critters. I just started making tings from that book.

Today’s toy is a crocheted snowman. Design by wondercrochet. Using acrylic yarn from Amazon, Red Heart super saver, Mainstays anti-pilling acrylic, and a 3 mm hook, I couldn’t resist this cute snowman. I used safety eyes for eyes and buttons, so it is not a toy for children. I will sell it at the church…
Today’s toy is a crocheted gnome. This time it is the snowflake gnome. Design by Kristi Simpson. Using Hobbii’s rainbow cotton 8/4, Garden 5, Scheepjes Catona, and a 2 mm hook, this was one of the simple ones to make. I have embroidered snowflakes before so it wasn’t difficult, but tricky the first time you…
