Crocheting

Today’s crochet toy is a bear that is so dark, I had to crochet blue eyes so they would stand out on the toy. I used some boucle yarn so the stitches were difficult to see. This was a pattern I found online for a mini bear, but I couldn’t find it on Ravelry for…

Today’s toy is another Huggable Heart, designed by me. I was taking photos of the different steps for the pattern. It is again crocheted with Hobby Lobby yarn bee soft secret held double with. 4 mm hook. The arms and legs are Mainstays chenille chunky with. 6 mm hook.

Today’s toy was a turtle kit from DIY. Bill bought it for me for Christmas but misplaced it, so I got it on Friday. It had the yarn, hook, darning needle, stuffing, stitch markers, and pattern for an adorable land turtle toy. I crocheted it in a couple of hours. I liked the color work…

Today’s toy is a bear in a honey pot. I have a pin and wanted to create a toy that resembled it. I used leftovers from my temperature blanket of 2023, Hobby Lobby’s Yarn Bee Soft Secret in honey and cocoa. I put floral stones in the bottom for weight. Keeping this toy…

Today’s toy is Hoppy the bunny. I woke up very early one day this week and decided to design a bunny that had no stuffing. There are many floppy toys out there and I know someone would appreciate no stuffing. Since I still used a tight gauge, the toy does sit up on its own….

Today’s toy is Bonnie, an experiment in different shapes in a toy. I crocheted her with large feet and stubby legs. There are even toes! She has a barrel body, with her head attached. A foam roller was placed in her neck for stability. I played around with the ears and gave her three loops…
