Crocheting

Today’s toy is a crocheted pig. Design by Lauren Espy. Using Crafter’s square color pop Craftiss mini and 2.5 mm hook, this pig turned out great! I love the size and low difficulty of Lauren’s patterns.

Today’s toy is a crocheted bear. Design be Michele Wilcox. It is the January bear and it is supposed to be white, but I had one skein of Big Twist Living yarn. The yarn is worsted weight and I used a 3 mm hook. It is an older pattern so there is a lot of…

Today’s toy is a crocheted macaron. Design by Lauren Espy. Using embroidery floss, six strand, and a 1.5 mm hook, these are very colorful and easy to make. I sent them to a friend’s son who is a bakery chef. I did not put the eyes on them.

Today’s toy is a crocheted cookie. Design by Lauren Espy. Using Crafter’s square and Premier anti-pilling everyday dk and a 3.5 mm hook, this was fun to make with two circles. I put the face on it to make it a toy. I usually leave the faces off of food items.

Today’s toy is a crocheted ghost. I plan on making little toys for Halloween again this year. I followed a pattern for the first one, but then changed it. Using Red heart super saver and 3 mm hook, this was super quick.

Today’s toy is a crocheted doll. This design is by Crochet by Aybi. Using Berroco Comfort and 3 mm hook, this was a quick make. Cute design on the hat. It reminds me of Minnie Pearl. Maybe she needs a tag on her hat! LOL
