Crocheting

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.

Today’s toy is a crocheted duck. Design by Sweet Softies. This is good luck duck #5. I must love making this pattern! Using Just Chenille from the dollar tree and a 2.5 mm hook, this pattern has great shaping and works with all weights of yarn. The bill is made using DMC floss and a…

Today’s item is a crocheted hanging plant. Design by Nghiem Khanh Ninh. Using DMC floss, Knitaholic sock yarn, Hobby Lobby’s Yarn ID, Lion Brand chenille, and both 2 and 3 mm hooks, this is a fun make. I like the plant string of pearls and the red flowers are a great addition. You can hang…

Today’s toy is a crocheted turtle or tortoise. Design by Medaami Patterns. Using Premier bloom chenille and a 4.5 mm hook, this turtle is adorable. The pattern is for a miniature pet for a doll, but I crocheted it with plush yarn, so it is 4”x3”.

Today’s featured item isn’t a toy, but it is stuffed. It is a crocheted hanging plant with strawberries. Design by Nghiem Khanh Ninh. I don’t know if I used the correct weight of yarn. Using many different yarns for the correct colors and a 2 mm hook, it was too large for its intended location…

Today’s toy is a crocheted lamb. Design by Lua Martinez. Using Bernat blanket, bernat velvet, and a 4 mm hook, this was fun to make. Making the body first and then surface crocheting loops in a spiral. This design is supposed to be a lot smaller, but I used super bulky weight.

Today’s toy is a crocheted axolotl. Design by Sweet Softies. Using Bernat velvet, big twist, and a 3 mm hook, this is a perfect size for a keychain. It can also be a backpack buddy. Velvet is really soft and doesn’t shed. It is also just a worsted weight.
