Crocheting

Today’s toy is a crocheted gnome pillow. Design by Sara Sach. Using Caron Simply Soft, Red Heart Super Saver, and a 2.5 mm hook, this pillow is soft and squishy. I put a charm on the hat. The pattern has a beard, but I changed it to braids. the brim of the hat was different…

Today’s toy is a crocheted cow. Design by Kali Dahle. Using Red Heart super saver, Lion Brand Pound of Love, and a 3 mm hook, I changed the pattern from a highland cow to a UT longhorn. It is super cute! It has knotted legs, but is also stuffed, so I wouldn’t call it a…

Today’s toy is a crocheted gnome. Design by Kristi Simpson. Using Scheepjes catona, Hobbii’s rainbow cotton 8/4, and a 1.5 mm hook, this was fun to make. I like the colors on the hat like Christmas tree lights.

Today’s toy s a crocheted tombstone to hold candy for trick or treaters at Halloween. My design. Using Bernat blanket and a 4.5 mm hook, these are quick makes and I need to make a lot of them. For the spider and tombstone, I will probably just make a few since they are scary. The…

Today’s toy is a crocheted spider. My design. I am still trying to come up with little toys for Halloween trick or treaters. Using Bernat blanket yarn and Lion Brand Pound of love and a 4.5 mm hook, I included my pattern notes on Ravelry. https://www.ravelry.com/projects/CraftingInTx/spider

Today’s toy is a crocheted cow. Design by Lauren Espy, but the longhorn I designed. It has a pipe cleaner in it so it can be shaped. Using Super Saver yarn, Pound of Love yarn, Hobby Lobby’s Yarn ID, and a 3 mm hook, I used colors for UT longhorns. Super cute pattern.

Today’s toy is a crocheted horse. I thought I would make a zebra with the monkey lovey pattern. The hexagon body is so good! I used a marl yarn, Bernat blanket, and my family agreed that a zebra needs stripes, so this is a horse. Using Bernat blanket and a 4.5 mm hook, this toy…

Today’s toy is a crocheted lamb. I was working on a vintage pattern and the toy was coming out too big, so I ripped out the body, but kept the head. I then used the monkey lovey pattern by Crochet at Teri’s to make a body. The hexagon construction is so fun to make. Using…

Today’s toy is a crocheted snowman. Design by wondercrochet. Using acrylic yarn from Amazon, Red Heart super saver, Mainstays anti-pilling acrylic, and a 3 mm hook, I couldn’t resist this cute snowman. I used safety eyes for eyes and buttons, so it is not a toy for children. I will sell it at the church…

Today’s toy is a crocheted duck. Design by Nina Leon. Using Hobby Lobby’s soft secret, acrylic yarn from Amazon, and a 2.5 mm hook, this was a quick make. I would love to see it in a blanket yarn.
