Crocheting

When I made the land turtle (https://craftingintx.com/2024/01/january-15-land-turtle/), my husband asked why it took me so long to crochet a turtle. Today, I show you the sea turtle. I prefer sea turtles to land turtles. They are so graceful. I know I used the wrong coloring, but my favorite color is green. This design has too…

Today’s toy is a snake requested by Aunt Kate. I like to crochet snakes with self-striping yarn, but I always make the tongue in red. pipe cleaners were used and I only stuffed the head so I could get the diamonds shape for the eyes. A few more stitches were added around at the tail,…

Today’s toy is Huggable heart. I designed this heart. Holding two strands of Hobby Lobby’s Yarn Bee Soft Secret for the heart and Walmart’s Mainstays Chenille Chunky for the arms and legs. Using a 4 mm hook for the heart and 6.5 mm hook for the arms and legs. I will have the pattern soon.

I had some green yarn in three colors and I had the mustard color, so I decided to try making a turtle. I started with the shell, increased to 30 and then increased to 36 in front loop only, then two rounds sc, then the crab stitch. Then I picked up for the belly of…

Today’s toy is a flamingo. By Phillip Ha. I used Hobby Lobby Yarn Bee Soft Secret in soft pink and lemon. I am enjoying using a 4 mm hook holding the yarn double. It makes a nice sized toy and I think one strand would have too much drape. This is leftover yarn from my…

Today the toy is a stuffed heart that has arms and legs. I put big eyes on her and gave her scary lips. I was trying to give her sexy Betty Boop lips, but it didn’t turn out so great. This pattern is from @momsstitchetti on Instagram. I couldn’t find it anywhere else. I used…

Today’s toy is a crocheted mallard duck. The pattern is good luck duck by Sweet Softies. The main pattern is in white or yellow and I have made a white one, but there is a picture of the option to use colors for the mallard duck. I used green for the head and switched to…

Today I crocheted a toy. I started making a triangle toy that I saw on a podcast. I wanted it to have hair and the triangle shape. Of course it came out as a cone shape. I had to change colors because I was working with minis and as I changed to the third color…

Today I have a pig, crocheted and designed by me. I used acrylic yarn that was in a pack of minis from Amazon. Since there wasn’t enough to do the entire toy with just one color, I striped two shades of pink. I started with a circle and then I crocheted what I thought were…

Today, I crocheted the Northern Cardinal Keychain, by Suzanne Boulet. I use Paton’s chunky, scraps I had. Love the bright red color and stitch definition. I like that the beak and tail are crocheted on and not separate pieces. Love the simple but beautiful wings. I added the feet, just ch 7, slip in second…
