Crocheting

Today’s toy is a crocheted puppy from Little Crochet Farm. Using Bernat blanket yarn and a 5 mm hook, this toy turned out bigger than the pattern. I like how the tail curled. I am not too happy with the colors, but it is soft.

Today’s toy is a crocheted panda by little crochet farm. Using Big Twist Tshirt yarn from Joann and a 6 mm hook, it turned out much larger. I love how it turned out.

Today’s toy is Sunburst the sunflower, a crocheted creature. It is a free pattern on the Hobbii website. Using Scheepjes catona cotton and a 2 mm hook, there were 16 petals! At least for the larger ones, you connected them before sewing them onto the head. But the nine on the front row were sewn…

Today’s toy is a crocheted robin. The pattern is from the book, Colorful Crochet Birds by Ilaria Caliri. Using scraps of acrylic and cotton yarn and a 2.5 mm hook, this bird is thoughtfully constructed. I love how “colorful “ this bird is.

Today’s toy is a crocheted kitty. Using Red Heart shimmer and 2.5 mm hook, this toy was designed by me. I saw a picture on Pinterest and thought to try making it. I put the back paws too far back. The tail is cute.

Today’s toy is a crocheted armadillo. I was trying to design an armadillo from a picture I saw online. Using red heart and Hobby Lobby’s yarn ID and a 3 mm hook, I am happy with everything but the shell. Some designs just don’t turn out.

Today’s toy is a crocheted monkey. Using Bernat blanket and a 5.5 mm hook, this pattern is by Mariska Vos-Bolman. I made this monkey with thinner yarn and it turned out looking more realistic. It is probably the face that didn’t turn out well.

Today’s toy is a crocheted doll in pjs and bunny slippers. The design is by me. Using Mainstays cotton, Hobby Lobby’s soft secret, yarn ID, and a 3 mm hook, this was fun to crochet. I saw a picture of a doll in braids and wanted to try it. Also liked making the slippers. I…

Today’s toy is a crocheted cygnet, baby swan. This is a pattern by Spin a Yarn. Using Bernat softee baby and Mainstays cotton and a 2.5 mm hook, this pattern was simple to make. No feet, and the bill was really easy. This is a flat pattern where you crochet two pieces and then join…

Today’s toy is a crocheted squirrel. The design is by Mariska Vos-Bolman. It is written for different weights of yarn. Using acrylic dk weight yarn from Amazon and a 2 mm hook, this toy is very small. I just did surface crochet for the legs because they were so small. Too many pieces to attach…
