Crocheting

Today’s toy is a crocheted beluga whale. Design by Theresa’s Crochet Shop. Using Bernat blanket and a 4.5 mm hook, this pattern was fun to make. It is difficult to make the bump on the head stick out. I wish it was more pronounced. All one color was a nice change from other amigurumi I…

Today’s toy is a crocheted chicken. Design by Sweet Softies. Using Lion Brand mandala yarn, Hobby Lobby’s Yarn ID, Lion Brand’s pound of love, Hobby Lobby’s Soft Secret, and a 2 mm crochet hook, this is just two granny squares sewn into a triangular shape. Great way to use scraps. I will also make this…

Today’s toy is a crocheted axolotl. Design by Sweet Softies. Using Lion Brand’s mandala sparkle, knit picks cotlin, and a 2.5 mm hook, this is a great pattern. It is quick and no sew. The only issue is that. Don’t want to make any other colors. Pink it is.

Today’s toy is a crocheted axolotl. Design by Sweet Softies. I was reluctant to make this toy, but this pattern is really fun to make. Using bloom chenille yarn from Premiere and a 4.5 mm crochet hook, this size is perfect. I did make other sizes from this pattern. It is a no sew pattern,…

Today’s toy is a crocheted dragonfly. My design from a picture I saw on Pinterest. Using Joann’s Big Twist yarn and a 3 mm hook, this was a very easy make. I used a pipe cleaner to put inside the body. On the last round of the wings, I held wire with the yarn to…

Today’s toy is a crocheted daisy plant. Design by Lauren Espy. Using Red Heart and Hobby Lobby’s Yarn ID, I used a 3 mm hook. The stem is wrapped around a dowel. There is also a foam ball in the pot under the soil. You have to make 9 petals and with the sunflower, 16!…

Today’s toy is a crocheted duck. Design by Lauren Espy. Using many acrylic yarns and a 3 mm hook, this was fun and challenging to make. Many different colors and I wouldn’t think to put the crosses on the wings. Of course, I had to make the smaller version from Sweet softies. Check out that…

Today’s toy is a crocheted mallard duck. Design by Sweet Softies. Using multiple acrylic yarns and a 3 mm hook, I just used what I had to get the correct colors. This is a great pattern that I have used many times. When I made Lauren’s duck, I just had to make the smaller version.

Today’s toy is a crocheted Santa gnome, or gonk. Design by Hooked by Kati. Using Bernat’s holiday cotton, Red Heart super saver, Hobby Lobby’s Yarn ID, and a 3 mm hook, I love making Christmas items. It is joyful to use Christmas colors and sparkle yarn. The Bernat yarn is cotton with sparkle, the red…

Today’s toy is Barry the bass, a crocheted fish. This design is by Theresa’s crochet shop. Using Bernat blanket and a 4.5 mm hook, this fish was fun to make. The construction with the mouth inside the fish was a great design. There were many pieces that I think could be done with surface crochet….
