Today’s toy is a bluebird of happiness knitted with Bernat blanket yarn and size 5 mm needles. This design is by Sara Elizabeth Kellner. I had to add the accents to the bird, the lines for wings and beak and the legs/feet because it just looked like a blue blob. Not happy with the yarn…
Today’s toy is a crocheted goose. The design is by Kali Dahle, thefriendlyredfox.com. Using Bernat blanket yarn and 5.5 mm hook, this pattern makes a very soft and floppy stuffed animal.

Today’s toy is a crocheted horse. I used the pattern for a zebra and changed the color to brown and edged it in black. I like these flat patterns that are seamed together. Using Big Twist in taupe and black and a 3 mm hook, this was a fun pattern. Again the designer is Esther…
Today’s toy is a crocheted zebra. I love these patterns crocheted flat and seamed. They are so cute and simple. The pattern is by Esther Graafland, also known as Studio Madelaine. She has a giraffe and elephant that I will do, but this pattern can be used for other animals, like a horse or unicorn….
Today’s toy is a knitted elephant. Using Big Twist in purple marl and a 2 mm needles, this pattern was fun to make. I love the trunk being raised. Floral stones are in the feet to help it stand. Love the color!
