Today’s toy is a crocheted monkey. I used Hobby Lobby’s I love this yarn in two browns and a 2.5 mm hook. This pattern is on instagram under the account @boxofpatterns but the designer is scandistyle_dolls. I love making monkeys and the tails.

Today’s toy is a crocheted gnome I made for St Patrick’s Day. The pattern is by Kate Negovorina. Many brands of acrylic were used, Lion Brand, Mainstays, Red Heart, and Yarn Bee. I used orange I found in my stash. 3 mm hook. I wish it was a container instead of filled with stuffing; I…

Today’s toy is a crocheted dolphin. Using Hobby Lobby’s soft secret in Mist and Lion Brand baby soft in white and a 2.25 mm hook, this toy was fun to make. Usually I crochet toys in the round, but this toy is crocheted in two pieces. Great shape for a dolphin. I will make this…

Today’s toy is a crocheted whale. Using just the blue out of a mandala cake from Lion brand, and a 3 mm hook, this was a quick project for a nice size. I added the smile and the eyelids were a nice touch. It looks like the designer used chenille yarn, but the mandala yarn…

Today’s toy is a crocheted elephant. This design is from spin a yarn. She has many free “rag doll” patterns that I want to make. The design is simple, worked back and forth in rows and then the panels are joined while stuffing. I chose to make the bird for the top of the head….
