June 2: little panda
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.
June 1: sunburst sunflower
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…
May 31: daisy toy
Today’s toy is a knitted daisy. This design is by Bernat’s design studio. Using Red heart yarn and 4 mm knitting needles, this toy was fun to make. I didn’t mind the petals or sewing them to the outside edge of the donut. Love the leaves as hands and feet. Such a joy to knit….
May 30: Berry the pink robin
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.
May 29: kitty
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.
May 28: armadillo
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.
May 27: monkey plush
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.
May 26: knitted bird
Today’s toy is a knitted owl. This design is mine. I made this one a little smaller. Using Big twist cotton and size 2 needles, this pattern is so quick. I really enjoyed the speckled yarn.
