February 7: mouse holding hearts

ByCraftingintx February 7, 2024February 7, 2024

Today’s crocheted toy is a mouse. I saw a picture of a mouse online and I just had to make it. I just made up the pattern. Yarns used: Hobby Lobby’s Soft secret in mist held double, and peaches and cream cotton in light pink. Jo’s web on YouTube has a tutorial for the eyes, just modified it to have the gray on top like eyelids. This time, I started with a ring of chains and left the bottom open. Then I went back and crocheted into the chain to decrease for the bottom. This made it very flat, but I still put a piece of plastic in the bottom. I used my heart pattern from my Hoppy Bunny pattern, coming soon.

Today’s toy is Hoppy the bunny. I woke up very early one day this week and decided to design a bunny that had no stuffing. There are many floppy toys out there and I know someone would appreciate no stuffing. Since I still used a tight gauge, the toy does sit up on its own….

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…

January 5: octopus comforter

Today’s pattern is Octopus Comforter by Donna Wilkins. I used this variegated yarn that I have had for about 20 years. I have made many things with the yarn and have ripped out every one of them because I just didn’t like it. I love the colors in the skein, but I do not like…
