August 23: chick

Today’s toy is a crocheted chick. Design by Merutoys. Using Premier’s Bloom chenille and a 4.5 mm hook, this chick was modified since I used thicker yarn. For the body, I increased to 24, then 28, then 32, 5 rounds at 32. Decrease the same way. I only did two rounds instead of 3 rounds…

Today’s toy is a crocheted monster. Design by Craftingintx. Using Varna’s Choice, Bernat velvet, YarnArt Jeans yarn, and a 4.5 mm hook, this is simple to make but so effective.

August 15: pig

Today’s toy is a crocheted pig. Pattern by Lonemer Creations. Using Premier bloom chenille yarn and a 5 mm hook, this pig turned out super squishy. Still, no stuffing shows through. I always turn it into a no sew pattern by just surface crocheting a circle for the legs. I ran out of one of…

August 14: frog

Today’s toy is a crocheted frog. Design by Karina Nunez. The pattern said long legged, but I don’t agree. I made keychains with these little ones. Planning on using chunky yarn to make larger ones. Using acrylic yarn and a 3 mm hook, these are quick to make. They do look better with safety eyes….
