Today’s toy is a crocheted bee. Design by @vocininha. Using Premier’s Just chenille and a 4,5 mm hook, this toy is bigger than the design. I like making small patterns with thicker yarn. I’m allergic to bees but this one is adorable.

Today’s toy is another Hoppy the Bunny, a crochet design by me! This time I used Mainstays cozy chenille in white and since that is a bulky weight, I used it for the tail as well. I had the yarn next to my chair and I was in training, so I finished the legs, body,…
Today’s toy is a crocheted lobster from the pattern Blue Lobster by Spin a Yarn Crochet. I love her rag doll patterns but do not like this lobster pattern. The pinchers in my opinion are not shaped right and the legs are too bulky. This pattern uses bulky “blanket” yarn, so I used the plush…
