Today’s toy is a crocheted doll. This pattern is by Sevgili Ilmkler. Using Jubilee Yarn bamboo cotton sport, Sheepjes Cato a, Yarn Art Jeans, and 2 mm hook, the body of the doll was much smaller than the shoes and jumper. Next time I will use the same yarn. The hair took forever!

Today’s toy is a crocheted pig. Designed by Lonemer creations. Using Big Twist plush and Yarn Art Jeans and a 4 mm hook, this was my third version of the pattern, first using bulky yarn. I love the brown on the light pink for the facial features.

Today’s toy is a crocheted monkey lovey. The pattern is by Crochet at Teri’s. Great pattern using a hexagon to turn into a leg and arm. I will use this body again. Not a good idea to use such a bulky yarn for the feet and hands. Using Mainstays cozy chenille and Big Twist and…

Today’s toy is a crocheted raccoon lovey. This pattern is by Elisa Sartori. I didn’t realize how big the pattern would be.

Today’s toy is a crocheted raccoon from Lauren Espy’s book, Animal Amigurumi Adventures volume 1. Using all the sparkle yarn, Joann’s Big Twist Twinkle, Soft Secret party, and a 2.5 mm hook, this pattern was fun to make. I didn’t realize the size of these patterns based on the book photos. They are rather large….

Today’s toy is a crocheted elephant. The design is from Ana at Little Crochet Farm. Using Bernat blanket yarn and a 5 mm hook, this turned out larger than the pattern. I changed the trunk and I made a braided tail from some acrylic yarn I have.

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.
