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. This allows it to stand on its own without stiffening. I gave this to my neighbor for holiday decoration. It was difficult to see the stitches since I used such a small hook size. 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 horse. I used the pattern for a zebra and changed the color to brown and edged it in black. I like these flat patterns that are seamed together. Using Big Twist in taupe and black and a 3 mm hook, this was a fun pattern. Again the designer is Esther…

Holding two strands of worsted weight yarn and a 4 mm hook, the bunny sits on its own even without stuffing. I wanted to…
Today’s toy is a crocheted door stopper, a rat. Design by Kseniia Semeliak. Using Bernat blanket, loops and threads sweet snuggle, and a 4.5 mm hook, this turned out rather large. I made it at the request of my husband since he thought it was funny. My sister-in-law bought it. The yarn, sweet snuggle SHEDS!
