Today’s toy is a crocheted angel. Design by Rhondda Mol (Oombawka Design). Using Bernat holiday sparkle and a 3 mm hook, this angel has many bobbles on the skirt.

If I make this again, I will go up a few sizes. I put a styrofoam ball in the head instead of stuffing.

Today’s toy is a crocheted butterfly. Design by Dilekshomestore. Using Bernat velvet and Just Chenille by Premier, it is so soft. The wings are floppy. Not the best yarn for a butterfly. I used a 3 mm hook. I changed up the colors on the wings.
