I have been crocheting and knitting many hearts this month to give to family members. I have seen on Pinterest hearts that are turned on the side and adding cat features to them. I did this for two. I also did a bunny. Today’s toy is a cat heart I am giving to my SIL, Jean. I knitted the heart with kitchen cotton and sequin thread held together. I then crocheted the ears, cheeks, and tail. The finished heart is nice!
Today’s toy is another crocheted pig. The design is by Lonemer Creations. This time I held the yarn double to make it larger. Same Big Twist yarn in purple marl. I think it looks more pink than purple. This time I also shortened the tail. Also, the eyes are blue on this one since I…

Today’s toy is a crocheted cookie. Design by Lauren Espy. Using Crafter’s square and Premier anti-pilling everyday dk and a 3.5 mm hook, this was fun to make with two circles. I put the face on it to make it a toy. I usually leave the faces off of food items.

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.
Today’s toy is a knitted bird of happiness. Design by Sara Elizabeth Kellner. Using Knit Picks stroll in red and 2.25 mm needles, I thought I would make a red one. Love this pattern. This could be turned into a Christmas ornament with embroidery too.
